Effects of helical centerline stent vs. straight stent placement on blood flow velocity.
Article in Frontiers in medical technology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
As an approach to maintain patency in femoropopliteal stenting, a helical stent configuration was proposed, which showed improved patency in clinical trials. However, the effects of helical stent placement on the flow have not been quantitatively analyzed. The purpose of this study was to estimate flow velocities to quantify the influence of helical stent placement. Helical and straight stents were implanted in three healthy pigs, and the flow velocities were estimated using the time-intensity curve (TIC) in the angiography images. The angiographic images indicated thinning of the leading edge of the contrast medium through the helically deformed artery, which was not observed in the straight stent. The slower rise of the TIC peak in the helical stent indicated faster travel of this thinner edge. Arterial expansion due to stenting was observed in all cases, and the expansion rate varied according to location. All cases of helical stent implantation showed that velocity was maintained (55.0%-71.3% velocity retention), unlike for straight stent implantation (43.0%-68.0% velocity retention); however, no significant difference was observed.
