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

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is suggested for treating patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) to reduce adverse cardiovascular events. However, the short- and long-term effects of PCI on the risk of postdischarge ischemic stroke (IS) in patients hospitalized for NSTEMI remain unclear. This study investigated the association of PCI on the risk of postdischarge IS in patients hospitalized for NSTEMI at different period follow-ups. A population-based cohort study was conducted using data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to select 6079 pairs of the patients with NSTEMI treated invasively by PCI (received PCI during hospitalization) and initial conservative strategy (did not receive PCI during hospitalization) with similar baseline characteristics for evaluation. After adjustment for patients' clinical variables and the duration of dual antiplatelet therapy, PCI was associated with a decreased risk of postdischarge IS at 6-month, 1-year, and 3-year follow-ups [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 0.41, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.26-0.67, p < 0.001; aHR = 0.61, 95% CI 0.43-0.86, p = 0.004; and aHR = 0.69, 95% CI 0.54-0.89, p = 0.005respectively].
