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

Previous studies have demonstrated favorable outcomes with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using initial intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) for calcified lesions. However, IVL outcomes under intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the initial clinical outcomes of PCI for severe calcified lesions using IVUS. In this study, we evaluated initial clinical outcomes of IVUS-guided PCI with IVL for severe calcified lesions. Consecutive IVL cases performed at our hospital between April and October 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Primary outcomes included cross-sectional area (CSA, mm
