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
introductionParadoxically, the literature lacks an assessment of the impact of various factors on subsequent coronary interventions in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
aimTo assess the impact of various factors on subsequent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), as well as to characterize the clinical profile of people undergoing repeated diagnostic coronary angiography without significant coronary artery changes. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe investigated retrospective data from 4041 subjects according to the clinical factors which may affect the occurrence of unplanned future PTCA.
resultsThe strongest risk factors for subsequent PTCA were significant stenosis of left descending artery (OR = 2.17, 95% CI: 1.09-4.32) during baseline coronary angiography, the atherosclerotic burden (number of critically narrowed vessels) (OR for narrowing lesions in 3 epicardial arteries 12.13, 95% CI: 5.40-27.27), and restenosis in a previously implanted stent (OR = 4.34, 95% CI: 1.96-9.62). A strong positive relationship between total mortality and the number of critically narrowed coronary arteries (during baseline hospitalization) was observed. Patients without significant coronary artery stenosis in two diagnostic angiographies (control group) differed from subjects with hemodynamic relevant CAD in: higher creatinine levels, more frequent presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and more frequent symptoms of intermittent claudication.
conclusionsThe results of the study are in accord with real clinical practice. The arteriosclerotic burden is a major cause of recurrent PTCA, but an important clinical issue is the qualification for recurrent coronary-angiography in those patients whose previous coronary angiography did not show significant stenosis, because other clinical causes may explain their symptoms.
