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

Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with active or prior history of cancer presents a challenge due to the increased rates of cardiovascular complications. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the mortality rates, in addition to early and long-term adverse cardiovascular outcomes in this high-risk population. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus databases to identify eligible studies comparing clinical outcomes between patients with active or prior history of cancer and patients without cancer. Our primary outcomes were all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality at different time points. Secondary outcomes included bleeding, stroke, recurrent myocardial infarction (MI), and heart failure events between the two groups. Results: Overall, 18 studies with a total of 8 million patients were included. Active or prior history of cancer was associated with increased in-hospital all-cause mortality (RR: 1.43; 95 % CI: 1.03-1.99; p = 0.03), 1-year all-cause mortality (RR: 2.35; 95 % CI: 1.75-3.16; p < 0.001), as well as, increased 1-year cardiovascular mortality (RR: 1.35; 95 % CI: 1.15-1.59; p < 0.001) compared to patients without a history of cancer. Patients with active or prior history of cancer have higher rates of in-hospital (RR: 1.77; 95 % CI: 1.75-1.79; p < 0.001), 1-year (RR: 1.63; 95 %CI: 1.26-2.11; p < 0.001), and long-term bleeding events (RR: 2.08; 95 % CI: 1.30-3.35; p < 0.003) compared to patients without cancer. No significant differences were recorded regarding recurrent MI between the two groups. Conclusions: Active or prior history of cancer was associated with a negative impact on early and long-term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing PCI. These findings underline the importance of individualized and multidisciplinary approaches when treating this high-risk population.
