Electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy is not associated with increased in-hospital adverse events in patients with first Non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction: A single center study.

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
backgroundThere is conflicting data about prognostic implication of electrocardiographic (ECG) left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with first non- ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). We aimed to examine the association of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) on admission electrocardiogram with adverse outcomes in patients with NSTEMI.
methodsIn the present study, 460 patients (77.5% males with mean age of 65.44±13.15 years) with first NSTEMI were evaluated. ECG left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was diagnosed based on Sokolow-Lyon voltage criteria. Baseline laboratory and clinical results, angiographic data, as well as in- hospital adverse events were compared between the patients with and without LVH.
resultsElectrocardiographic LVH was observed in 74 (16.1%) patients. Patients with LVH had higher admission systolic blood pressure (132.91±21.08 vs 125.80±21.78; P=0.01) and higher peak troponin (6.42±1.03 vs 4.41±0.28; P=0.004), but less likely to undergo coronary angiography (54.1% vs 66.8%; P=0.03) .Patients with electrocardiographic LVH had similar in-hospital mortality (5.4% vs 3.6%, P=0.5) and heart failure/ pulmonary edema (2.7% vs 2.07%, P=0.6) compared to patients without LVH.
conclusionThe present study showed that among the patients with first NSTEMI, electrocardiographic LVH was not associated with increased in-hospital adverse events.
