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

The cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. However, roles of statins are still controversial in dialysis-dependent ESRD patients regardless of having proven coronary artery occlusive disease. The aim of this study was to examine the benefit of statin following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in ESRD patients who have proven coronary artery occlusive disease. This study was based on the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort in South Korea. We included 150 ESRD patients on chronic hemodialysis who underwent PCI with stenting between 2002 and 2013. The primary outcome was a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, and all-cause mortality. Multivariate time-dependent Cox regression analysis were performed, and statin therapy after PCI was treated as a time-dependent variable. During 3.15 ± 2.71 (mean ± standard deviation) years of follow-up, there were 82 patients with primary outcome. The adjusted hazard ratio for statin use was 0.54 [0.33-0.90] compared to no statin use. This study showed that statin has significant benefit on reducing adverse events risk in dialysis-dependent ESRD patients after PCI.
