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 describe the use of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) secondary prevention measures in the Spanish National Health System.

designSystematic review of observational studies with information on the use of preventive treatment and measures in the prevention of secondary IHD.

settingPrimary care and specialised out-patient clinics. DATA SOURCES: Medline search and complementary searches of studies published between 1995 and 2004 with a description of the use secondary prevention measures on hospital discharge or in the follow up after discharge. SELECTION OF STUDIES: A total of 125 references were found after the MEDLINE search, 13 of which were selected after an independent review by 2 researchers. The complementary sources provided 9 more studies giving a total of 22. DATA EXTRACTION: One researcher extracted information on the characteristics of the study and the results variables, which were independently verified by a second evaluator. RESULTS. In the 22 studies found, a high level of variation was shown in the different treatment rates: anti-aggregants (at discharge, 72%-97.1%; follow-up, 46.4%-93.8%); beta-blockers (at discharge, 29%-68.3%; follow-up, 22.4%-59.0%); drugs with action on the renin-angiotensin system (at discharge, 16.2%-52.2%; follow-up, 6.1%-53.1%); lipid lowering drugs (at discharge, 6.7%-88.7%; follow-up, 24.5%-89.5%). The treatment rates showed a progressive improvement over time during the period studied.

conclusionsIn the period 1994-2003 treatment rates in the secondary prevention of IHD have increased, although there is still much room for improvement.
