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

The development of heart failure and/or left ventricular systolic dysfunction has long been regarded as an ominous complication, significantly increasing the morbidity and short- and long-term mortality of survivors of acute myocardial infarction. Although the incidence of heart failure after myocardial infarction has fallen over the last few decades, it remains common, complicating up to 45% of infarcts. Moreover, up to 60% of myocardial infarcts will result in left ventricular systolic dysfunction, depending on the exact definition used. Those at greatest risk of developing heart failure are the elderly, females, and those with prior myocardial infarction. Advances in the management of acute myocardial infarction have led to reduced in-hospital mortality (even when complicated by heart failure), but longer-term mortality remains high in these patients.
