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

backgroundA decade ago women with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) were significantly older than men, with more comorbidities, less likely treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) and their prognosis was worse. The progress in treatment led to increased survival after STEMI. Our aim was to evaluate the possible current differences between the genders in treatments, mortality and the changes in women over time in STEMI population.

methodsWe retrospectively evaluated 307 STEMI patients (224 men, 83 women), admitted between October 1, 2011 and December 31, 2012 and a historic group of 523 STEMI patients from 2008 to 2009 (361 men, 162 women). Reperfusion strategy was PPCI, combined with aspirin and clopidogrel or prasugrel or ticagrelor and a heparin with glycoprotein receptor IIb/IIIa antagonist or bivalirudin. Between the genders and in women over time we compared clinical data, the use and time to PPCI, in-hospital complications, 30-day and 6-month mortality.

resultsSTEMI patients in recent years were treated by PPCI in 94.5 %. Their 30-day mortality was 10.4 % and 6-month mortality 14.7 %. Between the genders we observed mostly nonsignificant differences (age, comorbidities, treatments, in-hospital complications, 30-day and 6-month mortality). Over the last years in women mean age significantly decreased, the use of PPCI significantly increased, the incidence of heart failure and bleedings decreased significantly, but mortalities nonsignificantly.

conclusionWomen still account for 1/4 of STEMI population, but the gap between the genders in presentation, treatments and outcome in STEMI population is decreasing.
