Complication during transportation and 30 days mortality of patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPatients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who present to hospitals without interventional facilities frequently require transfer to another hospital equipped with a cardiac catheterization laboratory. This retrospective cohort study evaluates the association of the type of medical transport with patient outcomes.
methodsA retrospective analysis of medical records of patients with ACS transported by basic (BT) and specialist transfer (ST) by emergency medical teams (EMTs). We analyzed age, gender, hemodynamic parameters, type of the emergency medical team, and complications during transport as well as patient survival to hospital admission, survival time and the 30-day mortality rate.
resultsOf 500 patients who underwent transfer, ST transported 368 (73.6%) and BT 132 (26.4%) patients (p < 0.001). Complications during transportation occurred in 3 (1%) in the ST group and 2 (1.5%) in and BT group. Cardiac arrest during transfer occurred in no (0%) patients in the ST group, and 2 (1.5%) in the BT group (p = 0.118). Survival to admission was recorded in all patients in the ST group and 131/132 (0.8%) patients in the BT group (p = 0.592). 40 (12%) of patients in the ST group and 13 (11%) patients in the BT group (p = 0.731) died within 30 days of transfer.
conclusionsComplications during medical transport of ACS patients from hospitals without a cardiac catheter lab to hospitals equipped with such a lab were rare and their incidence was not associated with the type of transporting EMT. The type of EMT was not associated with 30-day patient mortality.
