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

backgroundNeoatherosclerosis (NA) and treatment modality may influence outcomes in patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR). This study evaluated the prognostic impact of different NA patterns and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategies guided by optical coherence tomography (OCT).

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 288 ISR lesions with OCT-defined NA treated between January 2015 and December 2023. Lesions were classified as lipidic, calcified, or mixed NA. The primary endpoint was 1-year target lesion failure (TLF), defined as a composite of cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR). Cox regression, interaction analysis, and propensity score matching (PSM) were performed.

resultsNo significant differences in TLF (p = 0.420) or CD-TLR (p = 0.650) were observed among NA patterns. After adjustment for clinical and procedural covariates, DES reimplantation was associated with a lower risk of TLF (hazard ratio [HR] 0.390, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.157-0.974; p = 0.044) and CD-TLR (HR: 0.341, 95% CI: 0.114-0.925; p = 0.039) compared with DCB angioplasty. In patients with lipidic NA, a similar trend was observed (TLF: HR: 0.287; 95% CI: 0.097-0.849; p = 0.024; CD-TLR: HR: 0.171; 95% CI: 0.039-0.750; p = 0.019). However, no significant interaction was observed between the NA pattern and treatment modality (p for interaction = 0.543).

conclusionNo significant differences in clinical outcomes were observed across NA patterns. Although DES showed numerically favorable outcomes in lipidic NA, no significant interaction between NA pattern and treatment modality was detected. And these findings are hypothesis-generating and may relate to the additional mechanical scaffolding and plaque sealing provided by DES in lipidic NA.
