Revenues, costs, and contribution margins of major inpatient cardiovascular procedures within the Medicare population.
Article in American heart journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionWe sought to measure the revenues, costs, and contribution margins (CMs) for major inpatient cardiovascular procedures in the Medicare population in years 2016-2019, evaluate the differences in CMs across procedures, and identify temporal trends in CMs.
methodsClaim-level costs were calculated using cost-to-charge ratios and subsequently Winsorized to adjust for outliers, and CMs were assessed as the difference between revenue and costs. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: We found that revenues, costs, and CMs vary widely across major inpatient cardiovascular procedures and that rapidly proliferating cardiovascular procedures contribute sizeable net CMs to US hospitals.
