Gender Disparities in Japanese Interventional Cardiology: Outcomes of Female Operators in Percutaneous Coronary Interventions.
Article in JACC. Asia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Gender disparity remains a significant global concern in interventional cardiology, and there is a lack of extensive research examining the outcomes of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) performed by female interventionalists. Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the practice patterns and outcomes of PCIs conducted by female interventionalists in Japan. Methods: This retrospective observational study analyzed data from the Japanese Percutaneous Coronary Intervention registry between January 2019 and December 2021. The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality and the secondary endpoint was the success rate of PCIs. Results: A total of 447 female operators (7.3% of all operators) performed 35,211 PCIs (5.3%) during the study period. Female doctors treated a higher percentage of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction compared with their male counterparts (20.2% vs 17.7%; Conclusions: Overall, female operators exhibited outcomes similar to their male counterparts in terms of adjusted procedural outcomes, and higher crude success rate in certain subgroups. These findings emphasize gender disparities and stress the need to increase gender diversity in interventional cardiology.
