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

backgroundAim of the current study was to analyse the impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) on prognosis in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which has never been investigated yet.

methodsThe current analysis is a substudy of the IABP-SHOCK II trial. Patients were grouped according to the presence or absence of AF. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality at 30-day follow-up. Secondary endpoints included all-cause mortality, recurrent myocardial infarction, repeat revascularisation, and stroke at 12 months.

resultsAF was documented in 28.2% (n = 169) of all 600 patients initially enrolled in the IABP-SHOCK II trial. There were no significant differences with respect to mortality at 30 days and 12 months between patients with and without AF (p = 0.81, p = 0.74). Similarly, the rates of recurrent myocardial infarction, repeat revascularisation, and stroke did not differ between groups (all p > 0.05). There was no interaction of intraaortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) and no IABP in patients with or without AF with respect to clinical outcome at 30 days and 12 months (p > 0.05).

conclusionAF is not associated with clinical outcome at 30 days and 12 months in CS complicating AMI.
