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

We report a case of a 63-year-old male with a history of multiple percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) and diabetes mellitus, presenting with exertional angina of 3 months duration. Coronary angiography revealed in-stent restenosis (ISR) in the right coronary artery (RCA) with heavily calcific disease. Given the severity of symptoms and lesion complexity, the patient underwent laser-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention using excimer laser. Successful revascularization was achieved with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation under intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance. This case underscores the importance of individualized treatment strategies, advanced hardware selection, and the role of excimer laser in ISR management.
