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

aims of minapTo audit the quality of care of patients with acute coronary syndrome and provide a resource for academic research. QUALITY OF CARE

interventionsFeedback to hospitals, ambulance services and cardiac networks regarding benchmarking of performance against national standards and targets.

settingAll 230 acute hospitals in England and Wales. Years: 2000-present. POPULATION: Consecutive patients, unconsented. Current number of records: 735 000. STARTPOINTS: Any acute coronary syndrome, including non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, ST-elevation myocardial infarction and unstable angina. BASELINE DATA: 123 fields covering demographic factors, co-morbid conditions and treatment in hospital. No blood resource. DATA CAPTURE: Manual entry by clerks, nurses or doctors onto Lotus Notes; non-financial incentives at hospital level. DATA QUALITY: Hospitals perform an annual data validation study, where data are re-entered from the case notes in 20 randomly selected records that are held on the server. In 2008 data were >90% complete for 20 key fields, with >80% completeness for all but four of the remaining fields. ENDPOINTS AND LINKAGES TO OTHER DATA: All-cause mortality is obtained through linkage with Office for National Statistics. No other linkages exist at present. ACCESS TO DATA: Available for research and audit by application to the MINAP Academic Group. http://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/CLINICAL-STANDARDS/ORGANISATION/PARTNERSHIP/Pages/MINAP-.aspx.
