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

backgroundIschemic heart disease (IHD) is the leading cause of 16% of deaths globally. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are the main treatment options. Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) remain the most frequently used conduits for CABG. In addition, PCI in cases previously undergoing CABG is related to worse long-term outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate PCI's short-term and long-term clinical outcomes on SVGs.

methodsSixty-three patients who underwent PCI on SVGs from 2017 to 2019 were enrolled. Short-term and long-term cardiac outcomes of patients in the 6-month follow-up, including major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and all causes of death, were collected. The collected data were also analyzed through statistical methods.

resultsThe mean age of the subjects was 63.26 ± 8.74 years. Out of 63 patients, five patients (7.94%) died. Two of them died because of cardiac death a day after PCI, and three other cases passed away during the 6 months after angioplasty. Four and three cases had non-fatal myocardial infarction and stroke 6 months after PCI, respectively.

conclusionIn conclusion, in patients with coronary artery disease, PCI and CABG are complementary therapies. Revascularization on saphenous vein grafts seems to be a safe and practical technique in patients.
