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

Although serial changes in necrotic core and calcium are regarded as surrogates for the bioresorption process in patients treated with the bioresorbable everolimus-eluting vascular scaffolds (BVS), these temporal changes have not yet been fully investigated. Shin's method may be offer a more suitable technique for this analysis because it includes all the contents of both the lumen and vessel wall. The purpose of this study was to assess the serial changes of necrotic core and dense calcium content in coronary lesions that were treated with a BVS implant using Virtual Histology intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS) analyzed using Shin's method. A total of 29 patients (92 coronary segments) were imaged to evaluate the serial changes in necrotic core and dense calcium using Shin's method. Lesions treated with a BVS implant were analyzed with serial VH-IVUS assessments, i.e., pre- and post-stenting, and at 6 months and 2 years follow-up. In Shin's method contours are drawn around the IVUS catheter (instead of delineating the lumen) and the vessel. The mean necrotic core area decreased by 6.9% from post-stenting to 6 months (1.71 ± 1.03 mm² vs. 1.36 ± 0.91 mm², P = 0.027), and by 20.5% (1.71 ± 1.03 mm² vs. 1.20 ± 0.70 mm², P = 0.003) from post-steting to 2 years; while the mean dense calcium areas decreased by 27.2% (1.07 ± 0.55 mm² vs. 0.78 ± 0.64 mm², P = 0.039) from post-stenting and 2 years. At 2 years, absolute necrotic core and dense calcium content were significantly decreased as compared to post-stenting values. The present study demonstrates that the bioresorption process in patients who undergoing BVS device implantation can be assessed using VH-IVUS analysed using Shin's method.
