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

backgroundThe associations between incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the ambient temperature were mixed in prior studies.

methodsData of 2033 consecutive admissions of AMI in a central tertiary hospital in North China from 1st Jan 2003 to 31st Dec 2011 were collected. The weather data in this period were from the local meteorological department. Based on the ambient temperature information, we defined several ambient temperature indices, including daily average temperature, extremely low temperature, and daily temperature range, then characterized the independent associations between them and the incidence of AMI.

resultsThe daily average temperature one day before was independently associated with AMI incidence rate: a rise of 5°C of the daily average temperature led to a 5% decrease in AMI admissions. Daily average temperature and temperature range two days before were independently associated with AMI incidence rate: a rise of 5°C of the daily average temperature led to a fall of 6% in AMI admissions, and a rise of 2°C of the daily temperature range led to a rise of 4% in AMI admission.

conclusionLow ambient temperature has substantial association with AMI, and can play an important role in warning and forecasting the incidence.
