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

Discharge anaemia is common following acute coronary syndromes (ACS). However, it is unknown if chronic anaemia (CA) and hospital-acquired anaemia (HAA) are associated with similar outcomes. In this retrospective analysis of 4083 ACS admissions treated with percutaneous coronary intervention in Switzerland (SPUM-ACS registry), 1896 patients (46.4%) had discharge anaemia (CA: n = 643 (15.7%) vs. HAA: n = 1253 (30.7%)). Landmark analysis that matched patients with CA (n = 504) and HAA (n = 866) with non-anaemic patients found increased 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events (cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke) among patients with CA (6.9% vs. 3.0%, HR 2.073, 95% CI 1.039-4.134, p = 0.039) and HAA (3.8% vs. 2.3%, HR 1.772, 95% CI 1.002-3.232, p = 0.049). Only CA was associated with increased 1-year all-cause mortality (7.9% vs. 1.6%, HR 4.255, 95% CI 1.950-9.284, p < 0.001). CA and HAA were associated with poor 1-year cardiovascular outcomes. Only CA was associated with increased all-cause mortality suggesting that HAA and CA represent distinct subclinical entities.
