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

introductionElevated central aortic pressure, cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance contribute to high morbidity in relation to end organ dysfunction in obstructive and non-obstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD) cases despite revascularization. Bisoprolol preempts further progression of left ventricular dysfunction in such cases due to anti-ischemic and anti-hypertensive effects, further extending its evaluation in local Indian settings.

methodsPost-hoc analyses of NOCAD patients with epicardial stenosis (N=378, 30 to 70% stenosis) from cross-sectional analyses conducted across eighty centers in India. Local ethics approval for study documents and endpoints for analyses was conducted in adherence to ICH-Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and Declaration of Helsinki guidelines. Descriptive and analytical statistics were performed using SPSS Version 29.0.1.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA).

resultsPer-protocol analyses of NOCAD (N=378) showed (mean) age: 58.63 years (286 males and 92 females); mean weight: 75.49kg; mean BMI: 27.78kg/m

conclusionBisoprolol remains a clinically feasible option in Indian patients with NOCAD cases following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as it reduces RHR and improves LVEF. Despite high rates of cardiovascular risk factors like age, type 2 diabetes and diffuse polyvascular disease, the drug was well-tolerated, with fewer adverse events. These results support the use of bisoprolol in managing NOCAD in Indian patients, highlighting its potential therapeutic uses to prevent further cardiac dysfunction.
