Risk factors for acute coronary syndrome in patients below the age of 40 years.
Article in The Egyptian heart journal : (EHJ) : official bulletin of the Egyptian Society of Cardiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundAcute coronary syndrome (ACS) refers to a spectrum of symptoms compatible with acute myocardial ischemia. Plasma markers of inflammation have been recently identified as diagnostic aid and risk predictors. The present study, conducted in Slemani Cardiac Hospital (SCH), Sulaimaniyah, Iraq aimed to recognize some risk factors for ACS in Iraqi adults younger than 40. METHODOLOGY: This is a prospective case-control study of 100 patients with ACS vs. a control group of 100 healthy volunteers. The study began at 1st January 2014 and ended at 31st December 2016. All patients were subjected to full history taking, clinical examination including measurement of waist circumference and body mass index (BMI). Investigations included electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography, full blood count, measurement of lipid profile and C-reactive protein (CRP). The patients were managed by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 36 years (range 28-40). Eighty-five% of patients were male. The mean BMI (29 kg/m
conclusionACS in young adults is an increasing health problem. Obesity was found to be the most prevalent risk factor.
