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

Unstable angina (UA) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) refer to a spectrum of acute severe cardiac disorders characterized by myocardial oxygen demand and supply mismatch, caused by atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes represent a major medical problem, accounting for 2.5 million hospitalizations and 500000 deaths annually in the United States alone. Of these, 1.5 million have a final diagnosis of UA, and myocardial infarction (ST-segment and non-ST-segment elevation) accounts for the remaining 1 million. The management of UA/NSTEMI presents a challenge to the cardiologist because treatment strategies continue to evolve. A number of trials have now assessed the safety and efficacy of early revascularization strategies in the treatment of patients with UA/NSTEMI, whereas others have focused on pharmacologic adjunctive therapy. An optimal single strategy encompassing most patients' needs is not clear. This review focuses on the revised American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines for the management of patients presenting with UA/NSTEMI.
