Patient Perspectives on the Benefits and Risks of Percutaneous Coronary Interventions: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Patient preference and adherence, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundGrowing evidence for coronary stents in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) suggests that the benefits of stents are uncertain. The goal of this study was to assess patients' informational needs and how patients react to information about the uncertain benefit of stents to CAD patients.
methodsSemi-structured qualitative interviews (N=20) were conducted with patients with stable CAD who received a recent stent. Data were coded and analyzed using a mixed inductive-deductive approach.
resultsSome patients mistakenly believed that the purpose of their stent was to prevent a future heart attack, and few were previously aware of the uncertain benefit. Nearly all patients perceived positive outcomes from their procedure, even if their symptoms persisted. Some patients had difficulty accepting evidence that stents may not reduce the risk of heart attack or reliably improve symptoms. Nonetheless, patients still expressed a desire to receive new information about the uncertain benefits of stents and wanted to have received this information early in their care.
conclusionMany patients with stable CAD do not understand the intended benefit of coronary stents and want to be informed of the evidence of uncertain benefit of coronary stents, even if this would not change their decision. Improved communication and patient education tools are needed to better inform patients. An intervention providing patients with this information early has the potential to solve these problems.
