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

backgroundCurrently, the sex-differentiated outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) favors male sex in most studies. In this study, we aimed to investigate the age-adjusted impact of sex on long-term outcome.

methodsThe study was an observational, prospective, multicenter, cohort study with pooling of 5-year results of the randomized controlled all-comer stent trials SORT OUT (Scandinavian Organization for Randomized Trials With Clinical Outcome) III, V, VI, VII, VIII, and IX conducted from 2006 to 2017. All patients were followed for 5 years. The predefined main outcome was a major adverse cardiac event (MACE); a composite end point comprising all-cause death, spontaneous myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization assessed by a clinical event committee. MACE difference across sex was assessed by incidence rate ratios at 5 years adjusted for age and predefined risk factors.

resultsIn total, 15 242 patients (women, 3729 [24.5%]) with a mean age of 67.8±11.0 years were included in the study, with 0.2% lost to follow-up. Compared with men, women were older (women, 67.8±11.0 years; men, 64.8±10.7 years), had more hypertension and dyslipidemia but less previous MI and revascularization. MACEs occurred in 747 (21.8%) of the women and 2196 (20.5%) of the men at 5 years (unadjusted incidence rate ratio, 1.07 [95% CI, 0.98-1.16]; and adjusted incidence rate ratio, 0.91 [95% CI, 0.84-0.99]). Female sex was not associated with an increased risk in any of the individual MACE components.

conclusionsFemale sex was not associated with a poorer long-term outcome than male sex after treatment for coronary artery disease with percutaneous coronary intervention in MACEs or any of the individual components.
