The association of diabetes and older age with the absence of chest pain during acute coronary syndromes.
Article in Western journal of nursing research, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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.
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
Cardiac autonomic neuropathy associated with diabetes can cause silent myocardial ischemia and may influence the way that patients perceive symptoms of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). The purpose of this study was to examine symptoms of ACS in patients with and without diabetes while controlling for length of time with diabetes. A convenience sample of 256 patients from two large medical centers in the Midwest participated. Patients with diabetes comprised 33.2% of the sample and reported significantly less chest pain and more unusual fatigue. Patients with diabetes of longer duration (10 or more years) reported more difficulty breathing than did patients with diabetes of shorter duration (fewer than 10 years). Older patients with the same diabetes status also reported less chest pain. For older patients and for patients with diabetes, lack of chest pain during ACS could delay treatment and is thus a concern.
