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

backgroundThere has been a change in the risk factor profile of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) in the western world. We sought to compare the risk factor profile of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in northern part of Iran in 2010 and 2016.

methodsIn a cross-sectional study, medical records of 296 CABG patients in 2010 and 500 patients in 2016 were collected from a referral university hospital in Guilan province, Iran. We compared the risk factor profile using chi-square test or independent t-test as needed in the two time points, 2010 and 2016.

resultsThe age of CABG patients significantly decreased from 62.49 ± 8.05 to 58.09 ± 9.20 over time. The frequency of hypertension (HTN) (66.2% vs. 59.1%, P = 0.045), diabetes mellitus (DM) (51.8% vs. 43.6%, P = 0.025), smoking (35.6% vs. 28.0%, P = 0.028), and patients with multimorbidity (31.8% vs. 26.7%, P = 0.001) increased in the second period compared to the first period of study. Whereas, the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia and positive family history of coronary heart disease (CHD) remained stable over time (49.6% vs. 49.0%, P = 0.870; 10.5% vs. 11.1%, P = 0.810, respectively).

conclusionWe observed a dramatic increase in DM, HTN, and cigarette smoking as well as the multimorbidity prevalence in 2016 compared to 2010. Even with considering all study limitations, primary and secondary prevention program to decrease cardiovascular disease is required.
