Analysis of risk factors, presentation, and in-hospital events of very young patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
Article in Journal of the Saudi Heart Association, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionIn the Indian subcontinent and Arab Gulf, coronary artery disease is affecting younger persons at greater rates. Few studies have focused on young ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients in these regions. We examine the clinical profile and treatment of STEMI patients aged <40 years.
methodsParticipants consisted of 77 STEMI patients, aged <40 years, admitted to hospitals in Abu Dhabi. Data were collected using electronic medical records. Descriptive statistics were calculated for STEMI profile, medical history, risk factors, in-hospital events, and treatment.
resultsSmoking was prevalent (61.0%). Beta blockers were frequently prescribed (90.7%); aspirin infrequently (12%). Of patients without history of each condition, 36.7% were diagnosed in-hospital with hypertension, 28.6% with elevated low-density lipoprotein, and 18.8% with lowered high-density lipoprotein.
conclusionsAmong young adults who use tobacco, there is a need for improved screening for risk factors. Earlier detection and treatment of dyslipidemia and hypertension could prevent acute cardiac events among individuals aged <40 years with multiple risk factors.
