Sex-Related Differences in the Prevalence and Clinical Outcomes of Moderate-to-Severe Coronary Artery Calcification in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

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
backgroundIt was still unclear whether sex-related differences in the prevalence and clinical outcomes of patients with moderate-to-severe coronary artery calcification (MSCAC) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
aimsWe aimed to evaluate sex-related differences in the prevalence and clinical outcomes in patients who underwent MSCAC-PCI.
methodsWe analyzed 10,681 consecutive patients with or without MSCAC from the prospective Fuwai PCI Registry. The primary outcome was the major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE, a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke).
resultsAmong 10,681 patients who underwent PCI, 18.24% of patients had MSCAC. The prevalence of MSCAC was 19.81% in women and 17.99% in men. Before age 62, MSCAC prevalence predominated in men, whereas after age 62, women exhibited higher prevalence. For individuals aged ≥ 62 years, females again showed a higher prevalence of MSCAC compared to males (adjusted OR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.01-1.52), and there was no significant difference between sexes in patients aged < 62 years. Among patients with MSCAC, relative to men, women have a higher risk of MACCE (adjusted HR, 2.89; 95% CI, 1.56-5.34), primarily coming from the increased risk of cardiovascular death and stroke.
conclusionIn this study, women with MSCAC faced higher long-term cardiovascular risks compared with men. An age-dependent divergence in MSCAC prevalence was observed, with higher prevalence in women after age 62.
