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

objectiveTo investigate trends in case-fatality and prognostic impact from recurrent acute myocardial infarction (re-AMI) during 1985-2002.

designRetrospective cohort study using nationwide administrative data from Denmark. SETTINGS: National registries on hospital admissions and causes of death were linked to identify patients with first AMI, re-AMI and subsequent prognosis. PATIENTS: Patients > or =30 years old with a discharge diagnosis of AMI during 1985-2002 were tracked for first hospital admission for re-AMI 1 year after discharge.

main outcome measuresOne-year case-fatality.

results166 472 patients were identified with a first AMI; 14 123 developed re-AMI. One-year crude case-fatality from first AMI/re-AMI was 39% versus 43% in 1985-1989 and 25% versus 29% in 2000-2002, respectively. In 1985-89, 35 795 patients survived to discharge (71%); of these 2.5% experienced reinfarction within 30 days (early reinfarction) and an additional 9.0% reinfarction within days 31-365 (late re-AMI). Re-AMI carried a poor prognosis in 1985-1989 compared to no re-AMI with age- and sex-adjusted relative risk of 1-year case-fatality of 7.5 (95% CI: 6.9 to 8.5) from early re-AMI and 11.7 (95% CI: 11.0 to 12.4) from late re-AMI. In 2000-2002, 23 552 patients (86%) survived to discharge; 4.4% had early re-AMI and 6.6% late re-AMI. Adjusted relative risk of 1-year case-fatality had declined to 2.1 (95% CI: 1.9 to 2.5) from early re-AMI and 5.6 (95% CI: 5.1 to 6.2) from late re-AMI compared to patients without reinfarction.

conclusionPrognosis after AMI has improved substantially during the latest two decades and extends to patients with re-AMI.
