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

Despite widespread use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), post-procedural follow-up primarily emphasizes imaging outcomes while patient-reported quality of life (QoL) remains under-integrated into recovery assessment. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate 120 patients undergoing elective angioplasty and examined the association between longitudinal QoL scores and echocardiographic recovery at 6 and 12 months. Mean QoL improved from 62.3 ± 14.5 at baseline to 78.5 ± 12.3 at 12 months (p < 0.001), alongside significant improvements in left ventricular ejection fraction, global longitudinal strain and wall motion score index (p < 0.001). Improvement in QoL demonstrated a moderate positive correlation with change in LVEF (r = 0.46) and an inverse correlation with WMSI improvement (r = -0.38). Thus, we show that subjective recovery parallels objective ventricular improvement and support integration of structured QoL assessment into routine post-angioplasty care.
