INTRAVASCULAR LITHOTRIPSY FOR SEVERE STENT UNDEREXPANSION.
Article in Acta clinica Croatica, 2024. 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
Management of heavily calcified lesions during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is often associated with a high incidence of complications and long-term adverse outcomes as the suboptimal coronary stent expansion due to calcified lesion is one of the strongest predictors of adverse outcomes. Shockwave intravascular lithotripsy (S-IVL) is a new technique used in the optimal debulking and preparation of severely calcified coronary artery stenoses, but there is few data on its efficacy in acute or postponed optimization of underexpanded stents. We report a case of a 66-year-old male patient with severe underlying calcification of LAD and a marked stent underexpansion after PCI of chronic total occlusion (CTO) due to a lack of adequate predilatation and postdilatation, where S-IVL was applied, resulting in excellent stent expansion. S-IVL could be considered for treating acute and late stent underexpansion caused by severe underlying calcification.
