Evolution of Coronary Stents: From Birth to Future Trends.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 disease (CAD) remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, affecting more than 300 million people. Over the past two decades, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become the cornerstone of CAD treatment, involving the implantation of coronary stents. This review clarifies how coronary stents emerged, evolved, and ultimately reshaped modern interventional cardiology. Beginning with balloon angioplasty and progressing through bare-metal and drug-eluting stents, we show how each advancement solved key clinical shortcomings-dramatically reducing restenosis, thrombosis, and repeat revascularization. We further review the major technological advances driving modern stent development, such as biodegradable alloys and biomimetic coatings. We also highlight the remaining challenges, including long-term stability, manufacturing complexity, and limited translational readiness. Together, these elements support our central thesis: that the historical evolution of coronary stents is fundamental to understanding present PCI practice and to guiding the next phase of device innovation.
