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

Drug-coated balloons (DCB) represent an emerging therapeutic alternative to drug-eluting stents (DES) for the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD). Among the key advantages of DCB over DES are the absence of a permanent structure in the vessel and the potential for fast and homogeneous drug delivery. While DCB were first introduced for treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR), their potential wider use in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has recently been explored in several randomized clinical trials, including for treatment of
