Changes in health-related quality of life and its influencing factors of patients after percutaneous coronary intervention in China: A single-center longitudinal study.
Observational study in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study aimed to evaluate changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients within 4 weeks after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using generic and disease-specific instruments and to explore its influencing factors. In this prospective, longitudinal study, 79 patients with coronary heart disease were recruited from the Cardiology Department of the General Hospital of the Tianjin Medical University, China. The EQ-5D-5L and Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) were used to evaluate patients' HRQoL at baseline, and 1 and 4 weeks after PCI. Tobit regression model and multiple linear regression were used to analyze factors associated with patients' HRQoL changes. A final validated sample of 75 patients was analyzed. The EQ-5D-5L health state utility score improved from 0.85 (standard deviation [SD]: 0.15) at baseline to 0.95 (SD: 0.11) and 0.98 (SD: 0.10) at 1 and 4 weeks after PCI, respectively. Pain/discomfort and angina stability were the most improved dimensions on the EQ-5D-5L and SAQ, respectively. Patients who were retired, had high subjective well-being, and had high baseline HRQoL scores showed greater improvement in EQ-5D-5L scores after PCI, while the baseline HRQoL scores were positively associated with SAQ score improvement. A greater benefit from PCI was observed among coronary heart disease patients within 4 weeks after this procedure. More attention in clinical care should be provided to retired patients, those with low subjective well-being, and those with a low baseline HRQoL.
