Article in Heart (British Cardiac Society), 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. It is linked to trial NCT05294445 (From the Emergency Department Directly to Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation - Study - The "EMERGE-Cryo-Study"), which is not on this map. Cited by 29 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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

objectiveTo calculate the cost of angina pectoris to the UK National Health Service (NHS) in the year 2000.

methodsCalculation of the cost of hospital admissions, revascularisation procedures, hospital outpatient consultations, general practice (GP) consultations, and prescribed drug treatment.

results634 000 individuals (1.1% of the UK population) consulted GPs 2.35 million times, costing pound 60.5 million. They required 16.0 million prescriptions (cost pound 80.7 million) and 254 000 hospital outpatient referrals (cost pound 30.4 million). There were 149 000 hospital admissions, 117 000 coronary angiograms, 21 400 coronary artery bypass operations, 17 700 percutaneous coronary interventions, and 516 000 outpatient visits, at a cost of pound 208.4 million, pound 69.9 million, pound 106.2 million, pound 60.7 million, and pound 52.2 million, respectively. The direct cost of angina was therefore pound 669 million (1.3% of total NHS expenditure), with hospital bed occupancy and procedures accounting for 32% and 35% of this total, respectively.

conclusionsAngina is a common and costly public health problem. It consumed over 1% of all NHS expenditure in the year 2000, mainly because of hospital bed occupancy and revascularisation procedures. This is likely to be a conservative estimate of its true cost.
