Intracoronary Imaging for Calcium Modification: Intravascular Ultrasound and Optical Coherence Tomography.

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
Coronary artery calcification (CAC) remains one of the greatest challenges in percutaneous coronary interventions, since it adversely affects procedural and long-term clinical outcomes. Compared with angiography, intravascular imaging increases diagnostic accuracy of CAC and enables assessment of morphological features of CAC, which help determine the need for advanced calcium modification therapies, including speciality balloons, atherectomy and intravascular lithotripsy. Since the ultimate goal of the advanced calcium modification therapies is to induce calcium fracture and facilitate subsequent stent implantation, intravascular imaging can be used to confirm calcium fracture and optimise percutaneous coronary interventions. Being able to interpret and understand the role of intravascular imaging in the diagnosis and management of CAC is valuable in attempting to improve outcomes after percutaneous coronary interventions.
