Life After the Stent or the Scalpel: Comparative Study of Quality of Life after 1 year following Coronary Revascularization.
Review in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. 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
Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are established revascularization procedures for coronary artery disease. While both improve survival and relieve symptoms, their comparative impact on long-term quality of life (QoL), particularly in low- and middle-income countries like India, remains underexplored. This study aimed to assess and compare Quality of life in patients one year after CABG and PCI. Methodology: This cross-sectional comparative study included 100 patients aged 40-65 years, comprising 50 individuals who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and 50 who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), evaluated one year after their respective revascularization procedures. Data were collected using a semi-structured proforma, and quality of life was assessed with the Hindi version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life - BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) scale. Results: Baseline sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were comparable between groups. CABG patients had significantly higher total QoL scores compared to PCI patients (66.59±6.69 vs. 63.34±9.39, p=0.050). Physical health (p=0.012) and environmental (p=0.030) domains were significantly better in the CABG group. Psychological and social domains showed no significant difference. Comorbidities including Diabetes and Hypertension negatively affected QoL in both groups, while education was positively associated with QoL in CABG patients. Conclusion: The study revealed that CABG is associated with better physical, environmental, and overall QoL one year after revascularization compared to PCI. Addressing comorbidities and sociodemographic factors is essential to improve long-term QoL in these patients.
