Association between cardiopulmonary exercise capacity and clinical parameters in post-PCI patients with coronary artery disease from Fujian, China.

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: Peak oxygen uptake (VO₂peak) assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a key indicator of functional capacity and prognosis in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the clinical predictors of exercise capacity among post-PCI patients in Fujian, China, remain insufficiently characterized. Identifying such predictors can enhance individualized rehabilitation strategies and secondary prevention measures in clinical practice. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 575 CAD patients who underwent PCI and completed CPET within six weeks post-procedure at Quanzhou First Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University from June 2020 to June 2024. Participants' demographics, medical history, echocardiographic parameters, and laboratory results were collected. Univariable and multivariable linear regression identified independent predictors of VO₂peak, with subgroup analyses by age (<65 vs. ≥65 years) and gender. Results: The mean VO₂peak of the study population was 19.29 ± 4.41 ml/kg/min. Independent predictors of lower VO₂peak included older age ( Conclusion: Significant demographic, clinical, echocardiographic, and biochemical predictors of cardiopulmonary exercise capacity were identified among post-PCI CAD patients from Fujian, China. Age- and sex-specific differences underline the necessity for personalized rehabilitation and prevention strategies to improve cardiopulmonary fitness and clinical outcomes in this population.
