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 The relationship between body mass index (BMI) and outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains complex. Although obesity is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease, several observational studies have reported comparable or improved outcomes among overweight or obese patients compared with normal-weight patients, a phenomenon described as the "obesity paradox." Whether this paradox persists when patients are stratified across specific BMI categories, particularly among obesity classes, remains incompletely understood. This study evaluated in-hospital outcomes after PCI across BMI categories using a large national inpatient database. Methods  The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2016-2020 was queried, and those who underwent PCI were identified using International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10
