Association between percutaneous coronary intervention and long-term C-reactive protein levels in patients with acute coronary syndromes.
Trial report in Journal of thrombosis and thrombolysis, 2010. 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
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an independent predictor of risk in ACS patients, and it has been previously shown that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with an early rise in CRP. To assess the long-term relationship between PCI and CRP, we compared CRP levels at baseline, 30 days, 4 months and 24 months among patients in the Pravastatin or Atorvastatin Evaluation and Infection Therapy-Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 22 trial who were treated with PCI and those who did not receive PCI. At study entry, CRP was significantly higher among patients who had undergone PCI (13.2 vs. 9.5 mg/l, P < 0.001). However, by day 30 CRP was significantly lower among patients who had undergone PCI for management of the index event (1.5 vs. 2.1 mg/l, P < 0.001) and remained lower at 4 months and by end of study (average 2 years after ACS). Using a multivariable model, we observed that PCI was associated with 8.6% lower CRP level at month 4 (P = 0.05) and 14.2% at approximately 2 years (P = 0.0028). These analyses suggest that although PCI may acutely increase inflammation, it may also serve a role in decreasing inflammation associated with atherosclerotic plaques via long-term mechanical stabilization.
