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

BACKGROUND/

aimThe effect of β-adrenergic blockers on everolimus-eluting stent (EES) implantation is unknown. We aimed to investigate how β-blockers affect the outcomes of EES by using the Tokyo-MD PCI registry data and analyse real-world data in this drug-eluting stent era in Japan. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe selected 1,899 patients who underwent EES implantation. We compared patients with β-blocker administration versus those without, at follow-up regarding the incidence rate of ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization (ID-TLR), all-cause death, cardiac death, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and stent thrombosis (ST).

resultsPatients in the β-blocker group had higher coronary risks than those in the non-β-blocker group. Although no significant difference was observed in the five-year incidence of all-cause death, cardiac death, AMI, and ST between the two groups, the incidence of ID-TLR was significantly lower in the β-blocker group (4.5% vs. 6.6%; p=0.04). β-Blocker administration (hazard ratio=0.61; p=0.016) was negatively associated with ID-TLR via multivariate analysis.

conclusionβ-Blocker administration reduced ID-TLR after percutaneous coronary intervention using an EES despite the greater comorbid risks and more severe disease lesions.
