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

objectivesTo describe trends in the use of coronary artery revascularisation procedures (CARPs) and to determine whether or when CARP rates will stabilise.

settingState of Western Australia. PATIENTS: All patients treated by coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between 1980 and 2001.

designDescriptive study.

main outcome measuresAge standardised rates of first and total CARPs, CABGs, and PCIs.

resultsOverall rates for both total and first CARPs among men and women rose steeply from 1980 to 1993, when they abruptly stabilised or actually started to decline. Rates in age groups under 65 years tended to rise earlier in the period and remained relatively flat, while rates for people over the age of 75 years started to rise later and were still increasing at the end of the study.

conclusionsDespite continuing increases in capacity to perform both CABG and PCI in Western Australia and evidence of continuing increases in the use of CARPs in the elderly population, rates appear to have stabilised for the first time since they were introduced.
