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: Exercise intolerance after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a common yet often overlooked condition in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), associated with impaired cardiopulmonary recovery and poor prognosis. However, an accurate and easily applicable non-exercise-based model for predicting post-PCI exercise intolerance remains lacking. This study aimed to develop and validate such a model using electronic medical record (EMR) data. Methods: Between June 2020 and June 2024, clinical data were retrospectively collected from Quanzhou First Hospital. Forty-five variables were considered as candidate predictors, and seven machine learning algorithms were developed to estimate the risk of post-PCI exercise intolerance. Model performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC), area under the precision-recall curve (AUC-PRC), accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and F1 score. Calibration and clinical utility were assessed via calibration plots, Brier score, Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) goodness-of-fit test, and decision curve analysis. Model interpretability was examined using Shapley additive explanations, and an interactive web-based calculator was deployed for clinical use. Results: A total of 575 patients were included, with an incidence of exercise intolerance of 22.0%. Eight key variables were selected: age, sex, BMI, smoking status, diabetes status, hemoglobin level, red blood cell count, and resting heart rate. The multilayer perceptron (MLP) model achieved the best performance (threshold = 0.30): an AUC-ROC of 0.911 (0.854-0.956), an AUC-PRC of 0.706 (0.548-0.846), an accuracy of 0.87, a sensitivity of 0.82, a specificity of 0.88, a PPV of 0.67, and an NPV of 0.94 (Brier = 0.108; H-L test Conclusion: The proposed EMR-based model effectively identifies patients at high risk of post-PCI exercise intolerance, supporting early screening and targeted clinical interventions.
