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

Aims: Comparisons of international practice patterns and their impact on percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) outcomes are lacking. We compared temporal PCI trends between Sweden and a large university hospital system in the US. Methods and results: Data within the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR) and the University of California San Diego Health internal National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) CathPCI Registry were used to identify patients who underwent PCI from 2007 to 2021. Baseline characteristics and practice patterns were assessed using all patients (275 021 Swedish cohort, 9883 US cohort). Mortality was analysed using a random-effects Cox model, restricted to patients treated at university hospitals and excluding those with cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock (108 136 Swedish cohort, 9592 US cohort). The Swedish cohort was older, had a greater proportion of men, and was more likely to smoke (all Conclusion: Despite significant differences in patient populations and practice variations, we found no difference in post-PCI mortality between university hospitals in Sweden and the US.
