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
objectivePsychological factors are closely correlated with coronary heart disease, and gender discrepancies occurs in mental health after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome patients (ACS) are worth studying.
methodsThis study collected data from patients aged ≥ 60 diagnosed with ACS who underwent PCI treatment within one week of admission to the Cardiovascular Department of Ji'an Central People's Hospital between June 2021 and December 2022. The study group consisted of 113 female patients, whereas the control group consisted of 121 male patients. Baseline patient data, demography, and laboratory test results were collected. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and Self-rating depression scale (SDS) before PCI and at 1, 4, and 12 weeks post-procedure. Descriptive data are presented as x̄±s. Group comparisons for continuous variables were conducted using t-tests, while categorical data were analyzed using chi-square tests. Multiple group comparisons were conducted using analysis of variance.
resultsThere were no statistically significant disparities observed in baseline characteristics between these two groups. The assessment of SAS and SDS scores exhibited no statistically significant difference between the two groups before PCI; however, after the procedure, elderly female ACS patients demonstrated notably elevated SAS and SDS scores when contrasted with their elderly male ACS counterparts. Both cohorts manifested their highest SAS and SDS scores before PCI, with a gradual reduction in these scores after the procedure. Elderly female ACS patients experienced a statistically significant reduction in SAS and SDS scores at both 4- and 12 weeks post-PCI compared to their pre-PCI scores.
conclusionsTaken together, elderly female ACS patients undergoing PCI are more susceptible to the manifestation of anxiety and depression symptoms compared to their elderly male counterparts.
