The Impact of De-escalation of Antianginal Medications on Health Status After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAntianginal medications (AAMs) can be perceived to be less important after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and may be de-escalated after revascularization. We examined the frequency of AAM de-escalation at discharge post-PCI and its association with follow-up health status. METHODS AND
resultsIn a 10-center PCI registry, the Seattle Angina Questionnaire was assessed before and 6 months post-PCI. AAM de-escalation was defined as fewer AAMs at discharge versus admission or >25% absolute dose decrease. Of 2743 PCI patients (70% male), AAM were de-escalated, escalated, and unchanged in 299 (11%), 714 (26%), and 1730 (63%) patients, respectively. Patients whose AAM were de-escalated were more likely to report angina at 6 months, compared with unchanged or escalated AAM (34% versus 24% versus 21%;
conclusionsDe-escalation of AAM occurs in 1 in 10 patients post-PCI, and it is associated with an increased risk of angina and worse health status, particularly among those with incomplete revascularization.
