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

objectivesBased on outcomes of the BIOSOLVE-II study, a novel second generation drug-eluting absorbable metal scaffold gained CE-mark in 2016. The BIOSOLVE-III study aimed to confirm these outcomes and to obtain additional 12-month angiographic data.

backgroundBioresorbable scaffolds are intended to overcome possible long-term effects of permanent stents such as chronic vessel wall inflammation, stent crushing, and fractures.

methodsThe prospective, multicenter BIOSOLVE-II and BIOSOLVE-III studies enrolled 184 patients with 189 lesions (123 patients in BIOSOLVE-II and 61 patients in BIOSOLVE-III). Primary endpoints were in-segment late lumen loss at 6 months (BIOSOLVE-II) and procedural success (BIOSOLVE-III).

resultsMean patient age was 65.5 ± 10.8 years and mean lesion reference diameter was 2.70 ± 0.43 mm. In BIOSOLVE-III, there were significantly more type B2/C lesions than in BIOSOLVE-II (80.3% versus 43.4%, P < 0.0001) and significantly more moderate-to-severe calcifications (24.2% versus 10.7%, P = 0.014). At 12 months, there was no difference in late lumen loss between the two studies; in the overall population, it was 0.25 ± 0.31 mm in-segment and 0.39 ± 0.34 mm in-scaffold. Target lesion failure occurred in six patients (3.3%) and included two cardiac deaths, one target-vessel myocardial infarction, and three clinically driven target lesion revascularizations. No definite or probable scaffold thrombosis was observed.

conclusionThe pooled outcomes of BIOSOLVE-II and BIOSOLVE-III provide further evidence on the safety and performance of a novel drug-eluting absorbable metal scaffold with constant clinical and angiographic performance parameters at 12 months and no definite or probable scaffold thrombosis.
