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

introductionBy development of the medicine, control of the risk factors for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), became the foundation of cardiology.

aimTo investigate the association of the age with presence of risk factors in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

methodsThe study had a prospective, comparative and descriptive character, and it was done on a sample of 80 patients (n=80; 55 male and 25 female) Clinic for Heart, Blood Vessel and Rheumatic Diseases, Clinical Center University of Sarajevo from January 2016 to August 2018. All patients were hospitalized under the diagnosis of myocardial infarction and were divided into two main groups, which were divided into two subgroups according to age. Group A, group of patients under 45 years of age at the moment of diagnosis of AMI (n = 40; men = 29; women = 11) was divided into group A1 (n = 20; patients aged 25-35 years) and group A2 (n = 20; patients aged between 35-45 years). Group B, patients older than 45 years at the time of diagnosis of AMI (n = 40; men = 26, women = 14) was divided into group B1 (n = 20; patients aged between 45-55 years) and group B2 (n = 20; patients aged 55-65 years of age).

resultsAccording to gender distribution, there is a significantly higher incidence of hypertension in male patients aged 25-35 years and between 35-45 years (p = 0.01; p = 0.01). Increased cholesterol values were significantly more common in men aged 25-35 years (p = 0.0121). Increased triglyceride values were significantly more common in men aged 25-35 years, in comparison to female respondents of the same age (86.67% vs. 13.33%, p = 0.0001). There was a significant significance between the two groups in the occurrence of anteroseptal (p = 0.04) and in the diaphragmatic myocardial infarction (p = 0.01), while in other infarction localities no significant significance was observed.

conclusionMale sex is a predisposing risk factor for the development of a cardiovascular incident in the younger age. The post infarction ejection fraction of the left ventricle was significantly reduced in younger patients. The potential for prevention should be of paramount importance. The localization of the incident itself, and the involvement of a certain blood, represents, regardless of all the research, still a fact that is hard to stratify and directly correlated with a certain risk factor.
