Clinical, Angiographic, and Procedural Characteristics of Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Single-Center Study From Northeast India.
Article in Cureus, 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
objectiveThis study aims to evaluate the clinical, angiographic, and procedural characteristics, as well as short-term outcomes, of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at a tertiary care center. MATERIALS AND
methodsA prospective observational study was conducted at Gauhati Medical College and Hospital, Guwahati, Assam, between March 2020 and December 2021, enrolling 150 patients undergoing PCI. Baseline demographic details, risk factors, clinical presentations, echocardiographic findings, angiographic profiles, procedural characteristics, and outcomes were recorded. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS Statistics version 21.0 (IBM Corp. Released 2012. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 21.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.).
resultsThe mean age of the study population was 55 ± 12 years, with 135 (90%) being male. Hypertension (93 (62%)) and dyslipidemia (86 (57%)) were the most common risk factors. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with ST-elevation myocardial infarction was the most frequent presentation (107 (71.33%)). Femoral access was used in the majority of procedures (146 (97.33%)), and elective PCI was performed in 115 (76.77%) of patients. Single-vessel disease was observed in 79 (53.33%) cases, and significant involvement of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery was noted in 109 (72.67%) cases. Type B lesions were the most common in 113 (75.33%) patients. Overall, one patient (0.67%) died during hospitalization, while 149 (99.33%) were discharged stable. Procedural complications occurred in 27 (18%) of patients, with slow flow being the most frequent (10 (6.67%)).
conclusionsThis study highlights a high burden of risk factors and ACS presentations among PCI patients in Northeast India, with LAD being the most commonly involved artery. PCI was safe and effective with high success and low complication rates. Broader studies are needed to validate these findings.
