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

Patients with angina pectoris have a reduced quality of life because of their symptoms, impaired activity and anxiety. However, there is no consensus on the best method of measuring quality of life. A systematic literature search of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in angina showed that the most common generic questionnaire was the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) Part 1, and the most common angina-specific measure was the Quality-of-Life after Acute Myocardial Infarction Questionnaire. A comparison of NHP scores with those of the healthy population revealed that patients with angina particularly seem to experience a lack of energy, poor sleep and decreased physical mobility. In the RCTs evaluated, antianginal drugs did not show a significant benefit over placebo in terms of quality of life. As a result of a lack of valid data from RCTs, a strong conclusion regarding the impact of revascularisation procedures on quality of life could not be derived.
