Value and limitations of intravascular ultrasound imaging in characterizing coronary atherosclerotic plaque.
Review in American heart journal, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01200056 (A Prospective, Double-blinded, Randomised Study to Evaluate the Effects of Different Doses of Statin Treatment on Plaque Volume and Composition in Coronary Disease Determined by Virtual Histology Using Intravascular Ultrasound), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 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.

Abstract
Intravascular ultrasound uses a high-frequency, miniaturized, ultrasound transducer positioned on the tip of a coronary catheter to provide detailed cross-sectional images of the coronary vessel wall. Unlike angiography, which details only luminal encroachment, this imaging technique has the unique potential to provide an image of the atherosclerotic plaque, characterize its composition, and assess stenosis severity. Lipid-filled "soft" plaque, dense fibrous "hard" plaque, calcification, and thrombosis have all been identified on intravascular ultrasound images. Individual lesion types have been associated with specific clinical ischemic syndromes and with different responses to catheter-based intervention. By means of analyzing tissue composition, intravascular ultrasound may permit identification of high-risk lesions that may eventually rupture and cause unstable coronary ischemic syndromes. This article reviews the current approaches to plaque characterization by two-dimensional intravascular ultrasound imaging and addresses clinical implications, technical limitations, and future promise of the technique.
