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

aimsTo investigate whether, over the 21 year period 1980-2001, there had been a reduction in the risk of repeat revascularisation or death from cardiovascular disease in the cohort of all patients who were treated by coronary revascularisation in Western Australia.

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

designCohort study.

main outcome measuresRisk of repeat coronary artery revascularisation procedures (CARP) and risk of death from cardiovascular disease after first CARP.

resultsAfter a CABG procedure, the two year risk of repeat revascularisation remained low (less than 2%) across the period 1980-2001. For PCI, however, this risk declined significantly from 33.6% in 1985-9 to 12.4% in 2000-1. The risk of death from cardiovascular disease after a CARP declined by about 50% between 1985 and 2001.

conclusionsOutcomes such as the risk of repeat revascularisation and the risk of death from cardiovascular disease have improved significantly for patients who underwent CARPs across the period 1980-2001. This has occurred despite an increasing trend in first CARP rates among older people and those with a recent history of myocardial infarction.
