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

Eccentric calcified plaque remains a challenge in the endovascular treatment of peripheral arterial disease despite technological advancements. The "aggressive wire recanalization in calcified atheroma and dilatation" technique was invented to overcome this by intentional intraplaque wiring followed by atherectomy; however, distal embolization can ensue. Substitution with intravascular lithotripsy may be safer and equally effective. To the best of our knowledge, we performed the first case of intentional intraplaque lithotripsy to successfully treat a claudicant patient with heavily calcified bilateral superficial femoral arteries without complications. This may be considered a new technique variation to treat eccentric calcium.
