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

objectiveTo determine the levels of serum thyroxine (T3, T4), triiodothyronine and thyrotropin in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

methodsIt was an observational prospective study and 60 patients (both males and females) of AMI, (diagnosed by ECG & cardiac enzymes.) were included. Serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), Free T3 and Free T4 were measured and relevant data was entered into a predesigned proforma.

resultsFT3 levels were below the reference range in 56.7% cases while both the FT4 and TSH values were found to be the lower limit of normal range. When the decrease in FT3 was correlated with the duration of illness, it was found that significant inverse correlation existed between FT3 value and the duration of illness and linear regression line was obtained. No such correlation existed between FT4 and TSH values.

conclusionThyroid hormone levels (FT3) decreases in AMI and this change is associated with the duration of illness.
