Ischemia modified albumin (IMA) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and left bundle branch block (LBBB). Does it make the difference?
Article in The Egyptian heart journal : (EHJ) : official bulletin of the Egyptian Society of Cardiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundManagement of patients with a suspected ACS and LBBB is a challenge to the clinician.
aimTo detect the ability of IMA to exclude myocardial ischemia in suspected patients with ACS and LBBB. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 68 patients with suspected ACS and LBBB (group I) and another twenty patients age and sex matched known to have LBBB with normal coronary angiography (group II) were included in this study and subjected to: routine laboratory tests, 12 lead ECG, echocardiography, and measurement of serum troponin I (TnI) and IMA (measured by ELISA). Diagnostic coronary angiography was performed on all patients and scored by severity and modified Gensini scores.
resultsIMA and TnI levels are significantly increased in group I compared to group II (P value <0.001
conclusionThere was a distinct advantage of measuring IMA in patients presenting to the emergency department with acute chest pain and LBBB to rule out a final diagnosis of ACS.
