Predictors of all-cause mortality and ischemic events within and beyond 1 year after an acute coronary syndrome: Results from the EPICOR registry.
Observational study in Clinical cardiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01171404 (Long-term Follow-up of Antithrombotic Management Patterns in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 24 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
backgroundPatients discharged after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have substantial risk of recurrent ischemic events or dying. HYPOTHESIS: A difference may exist in risk predictors for all-cause mortality and ischemic events between year 1 and 2 of follow-up post-ACS.
methodsEPICOR (NCT01171404) was a prospective, international, real-world cohort study of consecutive patients hospitalized for ACS within 24 hours of symptom onset and surviving to discharge. Total of 10 568 patients were enrolled (555 hospitals; 20 countries) and followed-up for 2 years. From these, 4943 were admitted with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and 5625 with non-ST-elevation ACS (NSTE-ACS). Potential baseline predictors of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE; death, non-fatal myocardial infarction [MI], non-fatal stroke) were evaluated in year 1 and 2 post-discharge.
resultsMACCE incidence per 100 person-years at risk within and after 1 year was 5.3 vs 3.6, primarily death (4.1 vs 2.3), with no significant differences for MI or stroke. Older age, lack of coronary revascularization, raised creatinine, low hemoglobin, previous cardiac disease, previous chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, raised glucose, male sex, and geographic region were risk factors for MACCE in both year 1 and 2. By contrast, low ejection fraction, poorer quality of life, low body mass index (BMI) <20 kg/m
conclusionWe observed continuous MACCE risk during 2 years of follow-up after discharge for ACS, with greater mortality within the first year. Specific predictors at discharge for events after 1 year could not be identified.
