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

backgroundHealth-related quality of life (HRQL) is an increasingly well-recognized measure of health outcome in cardiology. We examined HRQL as a predictor of unplanned rehospitalization for cardiac reasons in patients after coronary revascularization over a period of 3 years. PATIENTS AND

methodsOut of 791 patients enrolled in the study, 743 completed the MacNew HRQL questionnaire after coronary revascularization. MacNew HRQL scores were used as predictors of unplanned rehospitalization.

resultsWithin the 3-year follow-up period, 125 patients (16.8 %) were rehospitalized. After adjustment for age, gender, and myocardial infarction as the initiating event, there were significant differences in unplanned rehospitalization rates between patients with low or moderate vs. high MacNew HRQL global scores (HR: 1.8, 95 % CI: 1.2-2.7) and both physical (HR: 2.2, 95 % CI: 1.4-3.5) and social (HR: 1.8, 95 % CI: 1.2-2.7) subscale scores.

conclusionPoor HRQL assessed after coronary revascularization appears to be a powerful predictor of rehospitalization over a 3-year period.
