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

Calcified lesions pose formidable obstacles in managing patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia. Calcification impedes stent expansion, a pivotal determinant in averting restenosis and stent thrombosis. While aggressive angioplasty may alleviate these obstacles, it often fails to achieve satisfactory luminal augmentation. Intravascular lithotripsy, supported by its established safety and efficacy in coronary intervention cases series and registries, has emerged as a novel solution for persistent stent underexpansion. We adopted the concept and performed late poststent deployment intravascular lithotripsy in an underexpanded interwoven stent placed within the popliteal artery of a patient with critical limb-threatening ischemia, highlighting its potential as a transformative therapeutic option.
