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

This study was performed to determine the prognostic value of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and ferritin compromised in left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) patients who suffered acute myocardial infarction (AMI) beforehand.A hospital-based case-control study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology, First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University in 2013 and 2014. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to kidney function and ferritin level. Observation outcomes include age, sex, C-reaction protein (CRP), medical history including major risk factors for CAD, ferritin and GFR, previous angina, time between MI and coronary angiography or time to rescue (TTR), and prior treatment.Around 60 patients were included in the case group (AMI with LVA) and 133 matched patients (AMI without LVA) in the control group. The prevalence of single-vessel disease (odd ratio [OR] = 2.490; 95% confidential interval [95% CI] = 1.376-4.506; P = .002), total LAD occlusion (OR = 1.897; 95% CI = 1.024-3.515; P = .041), absence of previous angina (OR = 1.930; 95% CI = 1.035-3.600; P = .037), time between myocardial infraction (MI) and coronary angiography more than 12 h (OR = 1.970; 95% CI = 1.044-3.719; P = .035), GFR less than 60 mL/min (OR = 2.933; 95% CI = 1.564-5.503; P = .001), and ferritin levels (P = .0003) were all higher in the aneurysm group compared with those in the control group. After adjustments for other variables, single-vessel disease (OR = 1.211; 95% CI = 1.080-1.342; P = .02), GFR lower than 60 mL/min (OR = 1.651; 95% CI = 1.250-2.172; P = .013), and high or low levels of ferritin (OR = 1.151; 95% CI = 1.050-1.252; P = .042) remained the independent determinants of LVA formation after AMI.Decreased GFR and abnormal ferritin levels are independent risk factors of LVA formation after AMI.
