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

Angioplasty using ultra-high-pressure (UHP) balloons may successfully treat stenotic lesions refractory to high-pressure dilation. The use of UHP balloons in patients with congenital heart disease is mostly for dilation of the pulmonary artery, and there have been few reports on the effectiveness and safety of balloons for other sites. We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of the ultra-high-pressure balloon angioplasty (UHP-BA) for stenotic lesions in patients with congenital heart disease between January 2020 and December 2022 at Okayama University Hospital. A total of 78 UHP-BAs were performed in 44 patients, with a median age of 6.6 years and a median weight of 17.6 kg. The balloon types used in the UHP-BAs were Yoroi
