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

Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) provide a stent-free alternative, reducing risks like stent thrombosis and in-stent restenosis and the need for prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy. Recent studies show that DCBs can be effective and safe across various coronary artery diseases (CADs) when lesions are adequately prepared. Specifically, all coronary lesions are treated using the provisional approach, where active lesion preparation is followed by DCB or drug-eluting stent treatment, depending on the results. This approach means DCB is considered the default device before initiating intervention, with efforts focused on obtaining adequate lesion preparation. Depending on the result, DCB or drug-eluting stent is selected, which is termed DCB-based percutaneous coronary intervention. Therefore, this second report of the Asia-Pacific Consensus Group provides practical guidelines (DCB-based percutaneous coronary intervention) based on the latest evidence for DCB treatment in CAD and aims to expand its application across various CADs, facilitating its effective use in real-world clinical practice.
