Expected treatment benefits of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty: the patient's perspective.
Article in The international journal of cardiovascular imaging, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
This study aimed to determine the expected treatment benefits from the patient's perspective before and after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Descriptive study. The sample consisted of 60 patients that underwent PTCA in the cardiology department of a university hospital in Bolu province in Turkey. The patients were interviewed one hour before the procedure and a week after discharge from hospital. The proportion of patients that perceived their health as good after the PTCA was two-fold in comparison to before (48.3%, 88.3%) (P < 0.05). The rate of patients taking heart disease seriously decreased by half after PTCA compared to before (40.0%, 83.3%) (P < 0.05). Almost all of the patients had the wrong interpretation of complete recovery from the diseases before and after PTCA (100.0%, 96.7%) (P > 0.05). Expectations of not having chest pain (P > 0.05), not having MI (P > 0.05), not having fear of death (P < 0.05), and not having stress (P > 0.05) were lower after PTCA in comparison to before. The expectation of not having chest pain was higher in women (60.9%, 47.8%) (P > 0.05), in those not having MI (56.1%, 48.8%) (P > 0.05), and in those having chronic diseases (59.0%, 43.6%) (P > 0.05) before PTCA compared with after. The majority of the patients had the wrong interpretation regarding their PTCA expectations, which decreased dramatically after the procedure. Continuing individualized health education programs on angioplasty for patients and their families will be an important way of dealing with patients' inaccurate interpretations.
