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
Background: Stent implantation in vessels with moderate/severe coronary tortuosity is associated with increased rates of target vessel failure due to higher rates of target vessel-related myocardial infarction or ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization. Local wall shear stress (WSS) changes might contribute to this phenomenon. This study investigates the impact of stenting on the hemodynamic environment of tortuous coronary arteries in a numerical simulation model. Materials and methods: A numerical simulation model was established to explore the characteristics of hemodynamic parameters before and after simulated stent implantation in tortuous coronary vessels. The numerical simulation model is composed of four tortuous arcs. By controlling the curvature of these arcs, three groups with different tortuosity were formed. Four different stenosis degrees (40%, 50%, 60%, and 70%) were formed by changing the diameter of the third arc in each group. Finally, 12 models with different degrees of stenosis and tortuosity were analyzed. Results: The velocity and WSS were reduced in proportion to increased stenosis after stent implantation in tortuous segments mimicking tortuous coronary vessels with low, medium, and high tortuosity. Conclusion: Our results indicate that further reduced WSS in tortuous coronary vessels post stenting might lead to increased endothelial dysfunction, vascular inflammation, and neointimal hyperplasia, all of which facilitate the formation of in-stent restenosis, especially in tortuous coronary vessels with severe stenosis.
