The Impact of Myocardial Infarction vs. Pneumonia on Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular disease, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The aim of this study was to examine the association between MI and PNA in the setting of acute ischemic stroke and patient outcome. Eligible patients were identified from a prospectively collected stroke registry and included if transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was performed during their inpatient stay. 426 patients met inclusion criteria (mean age 64, 73% Black, 48% female). Twenty-one patients (4.9%) experienced an MI. Patients who later suffered a MI initially presented with more severe strokes (median NIHSS 7 vs. 5, p=0.014). More patients in the MI group experienced pneumonia (26% vs. 9%, p=0.004). After adjusting for age, baseline glucose and NIHSS, the odds of in-hospital mortality for patients with MI was 3 times that of those without MI (OR 3.2 95% CI 1.1-9.7, p=0.036). When adjustment was made for pneumonia, age, baseline glucose and NIHSS, MI was no longer significantly related to in-hospital mortality (OR 2.5 95% CI 0.8-8.2, p=0.131). In our sample, while MI was significantly associated with in-hospital mortality, this association was attenuated after adjusting for presence of pneumonia. Our findings raise the question as to whether the prevention of pneumonia could improve in-hospital mortality among patients who experience MI in the setting of ischemic stroke.
