Women with angina pectoris receive less antiplatelet treatment than men.
Article in The British journal of general practice : the journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
In a study investigating the prevalence of underprescription of platelet therapy for women with angina pectoris, the complete medication histories of patients were examined and indicators of possible comorbidity and comedication were recorded. A higher percentage of women than men were not treated with any form of antithrombotic treatment (37% versus 18%), suggesting a serious, and possibly hazardous, undertreatment with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in women compared with men.
