Country of birth and survival after a first myocardial infarction in Stockholm, Sweden.
Article in European journal of epidemiology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
aimTo analyse survival after a first myocardial infarction among immigrants in Stockholm, Sweden.
methodsAll cases of first myocardial infarction among persons 30-74 years of age during 1985-1996 in Stockholm, Sweden were identified using registers of hospital discharges and deaths. Cases surviving 28 days were followed with regard to mortality during one year. Information on country of birth was obtained from national censuses and from a register on immigration. Early mortality was analysed by odds ratios (OR) through logistic regression and 1 year mortality by hazard ratios (HR) through cox proportional hazards regression.
resultsMale immigrants had a lower mortality within 28 days after a first myocardial infarction compared to Sweden-born after adjustment for socioeconomic status (OR 0.84; 95% CI 0.76-0.94). Among women there was a weak similar tendency (OR 0.92; 95% CI 0.76-1.10). There were essentially no differences overall between foreign-born and Sweden-born in 1-year-mortality after adjustment for socioeconomic status (men HR 1.13; 95% CI 0.91-1.41; women HR 0.90; 95% CI 0.61-1.34).
conclusionImmigrants in Sweden in general do not seem to have a higher mortality after a first myocardial infarction than Sweden-born, in particular when differences in socioeconomic status are accounted for. A higher CHD mortality in immigrants appears to be primarily due to an elevated disease incidence.
