A Severely Calcified, Undilatable, Coronary Artery Stenosis: Impact of Serial Lithotripsy on Calcium Fracture and Lumen Expansion.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention of a severely calcified coronary artery stenosis is associated with stent underexpansion and adverse outcomes. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a novel technology for fracturing calcified plaque in the coronary artery. We describe the first case of a severely calcified, undilatable coronary artery lesion. After 2 IVL cycles, the balloon expanded, but only 1 calcium fracture occurred by intravascular ultrasound. After 2 additional IVL cycles, there were multiple calcium fractures, and the stent expanded optimally. We concluded that serial IVL cycles lead to multiple calcium fractures and expand the stent optimally.
