Time trends of chest pain symptoms and health related quality of life in coronary artery disease.
Article in Health and quality of life outcomes, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThere is at present a lack of knowledge of time trends in health related quality of life (HRQL) in common patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) treated in ordinary care. The objective of this study is to assess and compare time trends of health related quality of life (HRQL) and chest pain in patients with coronary artery disease.
methods253 consecutive CAD patients in Stockholm County, Sweden--197 males/56 females; 60 +/- 8 years--were followed during two years. Perceived chest pain symptoms and three global assessments of HRQL were assessed at baseline, after one and after two years. EuroQol-5 dimension (EQ-5D) with a predefined focus on function and symptoms; the broader tapping global estimates of HRQL; EuroQol VAS (EQ-VAS) and Cardiac Health Profile (CHP) were used. Chest pain was ranked according to Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS). Change in HRQL was analysed by a repeated measurements ANOVA and chest pain symptoms were analysed by Friedman non-parametric ANOVA.
resultsPerceived chest pain decreased during the two years (p < 0.00022); CCS 0: 41-51%; CCS 1: 19-15%; CCS 2: 31-27%; CCS 3: 5-4% and CCS 4: 4-2%. By contrast, HRQL did not change: EQ-5D: 0.76 (CI 0.73-0.79) -0.78 (CI 0.75-0.81), EQ-VAS: 0.68 (CI 0.66-0.71)-0.68 (CI 0.65-0.71) and CHP: 0.66 (CI 0.64-0.69) -0.66 (CI 0.64-0.69).
conclusionHRQL did not increase despite a reduction in the severity of chest pain during two years. This implies that the major part of HRQL in these consecutive ordinary patients with CAD is unresponsive to change in chest pain symptoms.
