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.
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
purposeThe Lumi-Solve photo-angioplasty drug eluting balloon catheter (DEBc) may afford safety advantages over current DEBc. Lumi-Solve utilises the guidewire (GW) port and lumen to deliver fibre-optic UV365nm light to the angioplasty balloon which may be problematic. We explore and evaluate alternative Lumi-Solve design options to circumvent fibre-optic use of the GW port and lumen which may enhance efficacy and clinical utility.
methodsEffects of guidewire shadowing (GWS) on visible and UV365nm light transmission were evaluated and modelled in-silico. To evaluate the effect of a dedicated intra-balloon fibre-optic port, modified angioplasty balloons and sections of translucent polyethylene terephthalate (PET) GW port tubing were utilised. Investigation of the effect of GWS on chemical and biological photo-activation of balloon surface drug was performed utilising LCMS analysis and inhibition of histone deacetylase activity (HDACi) was measured in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC).
resultsParallel fibre-optic and GW port configurations generated a GWS of approximately 18.0% of the evaluable balloon surface area and attenuated both visible and UV light intensity by 20.0-25.0% and reduced chemical photo-activation of balloon surface drug and HDACi by at least 40-45%. Alternative fibre-optic port configurations including a spiral design significantly mitigated GWS effects on UV light transmission.
conclusionsTo avoid use of the GW port and its associated complications a dedicated third port and lumen for the Lumi-Solve fibre-optic may be required. To maximize balloon surface chemical and biological photo-activation, non-parallel, intra-balloon, fibre-optic lumen trajectories, including a spiral design may be useful.
