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

Serum calcium has been reported to be a predictor of short-term prognosis; however, evidence regarding its association with midterm mortality is scarce. We investigated the association between serum calcium levels at admission and midterm mortality in a retrospective cohort of 2594 consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who presented to the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from November 2014 to December 2016. Patients were assigned to 4 groups according to the quartiles of serum calcium levels (Ca-
