Complications after elective percutaneous coronary interventions: A comparison between public and private hospitals.
Article in Indian heart journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveComplications after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, although institutional discrepancies can occur when public and private hospitals coexist within the healthcare system. The aim of this study was to compare the in-hospital complication rates and mortality in addition to long-term survival following elective PCI in two reference public and private cardiology hospitals in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
methodsFrom January 1st 2013 to December 31st 2014, a total of 440 procedures were identified in both hospitals (public: 328 vs. private: 112) and retrospectively analyzed by chart review.
resultsThere were no significant differences between the two hospitals regarding the total number of procedures with at least one complication (public: 23.8 vs. private: 17.9%, p=0.2) or in-hospital mortality rates (public: 0.6% vs. private: 0%, p=0.5). Post-procedural renal insufficiency was more frequent in the private hospital, whereas coronary-related complications were more prevalent in the public hospital. After a mean follow up of 30.3 months (SD±9.2), the survival rate was also similar.
conclusionsClinical complications after elective PCI are common both in public and private hospitals. Meticulous pre-procedural clinical assessment and patient selection as well as adherence to guideline-based practices could minimize the risk of PCI-related adverse events.
