1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The patency of saphenous vein grafts is poor compared with native and arterial bypass grafts. Graft failures are often managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) because of the higher risks of undergoing redo coronary artery bypass graft surgery. In addition, PCI to saphenous vein graft has a high incidence of stent failure but is still sometimes required, especially in refractory angina similar to our case. We demonstrate the safety and feasibility use of intravascular lithotripsy as an adjunct for PCI in severe calcified in-stent restenosis in a vein graft. Our case has also highlighted the importance of intravascular imaging in complex high-risk indicated PCI to achieve the best results.
