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
backgroundTo accurately assess the treatment effect of paclitaxel drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty is essential for intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) patients. This study aimed to investigate the clinical feasibility of high-resolution vessel wall MRI (HR-VWI) in assessing ICAD with DCB angioplasty.
methodsForty-five patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis ≥ 70% confirmed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) underwent HR-VWI before and after DCB angioplasty. Postoperative follow-up was performed after 6 months (±1 month). The differences of pre- and postoperative HR-VWI characteristics, including vessel and lumen area at maximal lumen narrowing (MLN), plaque area and length, degree of stenosis, plaque burden (PB), remodeling index, and plaque enhancement amplitude (PEA) were compared. The relationship between stenotic rate obtained using HR-VWI and DSA was evaluated. Each HR-VWI characteristic and clinical factor before DCB angioplasty was separately evaluated for the association with postoperative restenosis.
resultsAfter six months, lumen area of MLN, plaque length and area, degree of stenosis, PB, and PEA showed a significantly difference relative to the value before DCB angioplasty (all
conclusionsThe HR-VWI can accurately assess the treatment effect of DCB and robustly predict prognosis.
