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

purposeAlthough the field of interventional cardiology has witnessed extraordinary progression, the search of an ideal coronary drug-eluting stent is still going on. Tetriflex (Sahajanand Medical Technologies Limited, Surat, India) is a latest generation biodegradable polymer-coated ultrathin (60 µm) sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) with unique Long Dual Z-link (LDZ) design. The present registry reports the 12 months clinical follow-up results of Tetriflex SES in unselected, real-world patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).

methodsThis was an investigator-initiated, retrospective, multi-center, single-arm, observational registry conducted in India between March-2017 and March-2018. The registry included 1269 consecutive patients with CAD who underwent implantation of at least one Tetriflex SES. The primary outcome was considered as target lesion failure (TLF), which was a composite of cardiac death, target-vessel myocardial infarction (TV-MI) and clinically-driven target lesion revascularisation (CD-TLR) at 12 months follow-up. The safety outcome, at 12 months follow-up, was stent thrombosis.

resultsMean age of patients was 54.99±10.80 years. Among all, 36.6% patients had diabetes and 51.7% patients had multi-vessel disease. A total of 1515 lesions were treated with 1682 Tetriflex SES of which 73.2% lesions were complex B2/C type and 14.7% were totally occluded. At 12 months, the cumulative incidence of TLF was 5.75% comprising 0.8% cardiac death, 3.20% TV-MI and 1.72% CD-TLR. All the incidences of definite/probable stent thrombosis (n = 4, 0.32%) were reported within 30 days of the index procedure. Twelve-month cumulative incidence of TLF in diabetic subgroup was 7.10%.

conclusionTwelve months clinical follow-up results of an ultrathin (60 µm), biodegradable polymer-coated Tetriflex SES, with unique LDZ-link, further clarify its safety and effectiveness in real-world, unselected Indian patients.
