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
introductionChest pain is a common problem in patients referring to emergency units. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the short-term outcome of patients presenting with a low risk chest pain and discharging without provoke ischemia study during emergency department admission.
methodsIn the present prospective cohort study, patients with low-risk chest pain, referring to the emergency department of Imam Hossein Hospital, Tehran, during the first half of 2012, were evaluated. All the patients underwent electrocardiogram (ECG) and cardiac enzyme tests, including cardiac isoenzymes creatine kinase MB and troponin I. One week after referring to the emergency department, the patients underwent an exercise test and were followed for a month. Data were analyzed with chi-squared test at a significant level of P<0.05.
resultsA total of 252 patients were included. The mean and standard deviation of patient ages was 56±7.7 years (47.5% male). The results of exercise tests for 47 (26.3%) subjects were positive [32 (28.8%) patients in the 41-60 year age group and 15 (22.7%) over 60 years of age].The angiography examination results of 5 patients (2.8%) were abnormal. There were no significant relationships between the age and gender and the results of exercise test and angiography (P>0.05). During the one-month follow-up no cases of mortality, cardiac problems, or referring again to the hospital were recorded.
conclusionBased on the results of the present study, prevalence of cardiac etiology in patients with low risk chest pain was 2.8% and one-month follow-up did not reveal any complications or serious problems in such cases.
