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

Objective: The objective of this review is to integrate the content and effectiveness of secondary prevention interventions in post-PCI patients so that provide direction for the selection of more effective secondary prevention measures in the future. Method: A narrative review was performed, which included a literature search without language and study design restrictions in PubMed, Embase, and MEDLINE from January 1, 2000, to May 15, 2023. Search terms included free-text words for the key concepts of "Percutaneous Coronary Intervention" "PCI" and "secondary prevention". Results: This study consolidated the measures of secondary prevention included in the studies and found that patient education strategies had the highest rate of use (78%), followed by exercise (56%), with smoking cessation, diet, blood pressure control, and medication also being used in the remainder. We critically analyzed these secondary prevention strategies and found that only 56% of these secondary preventions were effective in their use, with the remaining 44% having non-significant differences between the intervention and control groups. 44% of the studies incorporated mHealth, and mHealth had a facilitating effect on the intervention. We found that patients had better results on subjective measures after surgery ( Conclusion: This study found that the use of secondary prevention in post-PCI patients is not limited to medication; five non-pharmacologic measures, namely patient education, exercise, dietary modification, blood pressure control, and smoking cessation, have also been actively used. Some studies have combined mHealth technology with secondary prevention measures with good results, in which the interactivity of mHealth should be focus on. However, changes in objective prognostic measures after the application of secondary prevention measures in post-PCI patients were not significant, indicating that the efficacy of the measures was not significant, which is an issue that deserves to be emphasized in subsequent studies. Meanwhile, educational, economic, and social support challenges in the older adult population may hinder the effective implementation of secondary prevention, future studies in the older adult population should prioritize addressing these issues to optimize the prognosis of older adult patients.
