Long-term prognostic significance of living alone and other risk factors in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2015. 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
backgroundLiving alone has been associated with higher risk of acute coronary syndrome in general population, but there are no consistent findings about its effect on prognosis after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
aimTo analyse the relationships between living alone and other risk factors at baseline and long-term survival after AMI.
methodsOne hundred and thirty-five patients with confirmed myocardial infarction (MI) admitted to the coronary care unit of the Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, Clinical Centre of Serbia in Belgrade, between June 2002 and April 2006, were followed up until September 2011. Survival time was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis.
resultsPatients with MI were followed up for a median of 77 months. The mean age of participants was 57.82 years (SD ± 10.8), and one quarter of them were women. According to the multivariate Cox regression analysis stratified on marital status, the model in which were included living alone, age, gender, education, obesity, smoking, hyperlipidaemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, previous cardiovascular and other disease, thrombolytic therapy and localisation of MI, the following variables were found to be independent predictors of death after AMI: living alone, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 7.60 [95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.99-29.08], diabetes mellitus (HR 3.31; 95 % CI 1.33-8.23), current smoking (HR 2.82; 95 % CI 1.03-7.71) and, older age (HR 1.13; 95 % CI 1.06-1.19).
conclusionThe results of this study support hypothesis that patients who live alone have higher long-term all-cause mortality following AMI.
