Admission C-reactive protein and short- as well as long-term mortality in diabetic versus non-diabetic patients with incident myocardial infarction.
Article in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundTo investigate the association between admission C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and 28-day case fatality as well as long-term mortality after an incident acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in non-diabetic and diabetic patients.
methodsThe study was based on 461 diabetic and 1,124 non-diabetic persons consecutively hospitalized with a first-ever MI between January 1998 and December 2003 recruited from a population-based MI registry. The study population was stratified into two groups of admission CRP concentrations (cut-off point median </≥0.5 mg/dl).
resultsThe patients were followed up until 31st December 2005 (median follow-up time of 4.0 years). After multivariable adjustment the odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval) for 28-day case fatality among those with high admission CRP values in comparison to persons with low CRP values were 2.55 (1.52-4.28) for the overall population, 2.53 (1.29-4.96) for non-diabetic patients, and 2.75 (1.18-6.37) for diabetic patients. Admission CRP concentration was also associated with long-term mortality. After multivariable adjustment persons with high admission CRP values had a relative risk of 1.90 (95% CI 1.36-2.65) for all-cause mortality compared with those who had CRP values below the median; the corresponding HR in non-diabetic persons was 2.15 (95% CI 1.38-3.35) and in diabetic persons it was 1.38 (95% CI 0.83-2.30).
conclusionsAdmission CRP is a strong risk marker of bad short-term prognosis after an incident AMI. However, in contrast to non-diabetic patients in diabetic patients, admission CRP is not independently associated with long-term prognosis.
