Twenty-Four-Month Outcomes of Heparin-Bonded Covered Stents and Drug-Coated Balloon Angioplasty in Femoropopliteal Artery Occlusion.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe clinical outcomes of comparing covered stents (CSs) and drug-coated balloons (DCBs) angioplasty in femoropopliteal artery occlusion remain unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the midterm efficacy of CS and DCB procedures in patients with FPO.
methodsAll 194 patients were divided into CS (94 patients) and DCB (100 patients) groups in this multicenter retrospective study. The primary end point was primary patency at 24 months, and the secondary end points included freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization, limb salvage, major adverse events, and overall survival rates. Propensity score matching analysis was performed to reconfirm the main end points.
resultsCompared with the patients in the DCB group, those in the CS group had a lower prevalence of smoking (54.3% versus 74.0%,
conclusionsCompared with the DCB procedure, the CS procedure resulted in greater primary patency at 24 months in complicated femoropopliteal artery occlusion lesions.
