The Difference on Features of Fragmented QRS Complex and Influences on Mortality in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome.
Article in Acta Cardiologica Sinica, 2017. 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
objectivesTo investigate whether the fragmented QRS (fQRS) complexes can be used to distinguish patients with early non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) from those with unstable angina (UA).
backgroundfQRS complex has been found to be linked to myocardial infarction and cardiac death.
methodsThe clinical data of 302 patients who had been diagnosed with coronary artery disease were retrospectively reviewed. Incidence of fQRS complex within 48 h of presentation was analyzed and patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (n = 240) were followed up by telephone interviews for a mean of 61.47 (range, 59.60-63.35) months.
resultsPatients with NSTEMI exhibited higher incidence of fQRS than those with UA (p = 0.047). The incidence of fQRS in the inferior wall leads was significantly higher than that of other leads in patients with anterior wall infarction (p < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a higher mortality rate in AMI patients with fQRS compared to non-fQRS patients (p = 0.001).
conclusionsPresence of fQRS complexes within 48 hours of presentation may be used to differentiate NSTEMI patients from UA patients. fQRS may also be used as a survival predictor for patients with AMI.
