Sex differences in the impact of marital status on coronary artery disease outcomes in Korea.
Observational study in Coronary artery disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundCoronary artery disease (CAD) outcomes are influenced by social determinants, including marital status. However, research on the sex-specific effects of marital status on CAD outcomes is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between marital status and clinical outcomes of patients with CAD stratified according to sex in Korea.
methodsA total of 3476 patients with CAD who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were enrolled in this retrospective observational study. Patients were categorized into married and nonmarried groups based on demographic data at the time of admission. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality.
resultsAmong the study population, 20.7% of women and 11.5% of men who underwent PCI for CAD were nonmarried. For 87.1% of nonmarried women, the cause of being nonmarried was the death of a spouse, whereas for 48.3% of unmarried men, the most common cause was being unmarried. During a median follow-up of 53.3 months, in analysis using the Cox proportional hazard regression model, nonmarried status was associated with higher all-cause [adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 2.24, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.22-4.09, P = 0.009] and cardiovascular (adjusted HR: 2.63, 95% CI: 19.91-5.80, P = 0.017) deaths in men but not in women.
conclusionMarital status independently predicted the adverse outcomes in men with CAD but not in women, highlighting the importance of sex-specific approaches to the assessment of social determinants in cardiovascular care. Future studies should explore broader social and economic factors to inform targeted interventions.
