Association of Body Mass Index and Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

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: The obesity paradox refers to lower mortality rates among overweight or obese individuals within certain populations. However, whether this paradox is applicable to patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unclear. Methods: A total of 5,427 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent successful PCI between 2005 and 2015 were enrolled. The association between body mass index (BMI) and future adverse cardiovascular events post PCI was analyzed. The study endpoints encompassed total cardiovascular (CV) events, including cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, and hospitalization for congestive heart failure (CHF). Results: Over an average follow-up period of 65.1 ± 32.1 months, 942 patients (17.4%) had CV events, including 200 CV deaths (3.7%), 294 acute MIs (5.4%), 111 ischemic strokes (2.0%), 469 CHF hospitalizations (8.6%), and 1,098 revascularizations (20.2%). A J-shaped relationship between BMI and future adverse events was observed, in which individuals with a BMI of 25.0-29.9 kg/m Conclusions: We found a J-shaped relationship between baseline BMI and future adverse events in CAD patients undergoing PCI. Overweight individuals (BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m
