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

Acute coronary syndromes include ST-elevation and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, and unstable angina pectoris. These are characterised by the acute onset of chest pain. For the diagnostic work up in the acute phase, ECG and the assessment of cardiac markers play a central role. For patients with ST-elevation, primary interventional therapy is the first choice. For patients with an acute coronary syndrome without ST-elevation, a risk adapted therapeutic strategy should be chosen. High risk patients (elevated troponins, clinical, rhythmological and hemodynamic instability, ST-depression and diabetes mellitus) should be treated by an early invasive approach with angiography performed within 48-72 h. Low risk patients should be treated conservatively. For all patients who are treated interventionally, the administration of an aggressive antiaggregatory therapy including aspirin, clopidogrel, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors and heparin is indicated in the acute phase. In the chronic phase, the treatment of cardiovascular risk factors is of paramount importance.
