Emergency Department Visits and Subsequent Hospital Admission Trends for Patients with Chest Pain and a History of Coronary Artery Disease.
Article in Cardiology and therapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionHospitalization is the largest component of health care spending in the United States. Most hospitalized patients first visit the emergency department (ED), where hospitalization decisions are made. Optimal utilization of hospital resources is critical for all stakeholders.
methodsWe performed a population-based, cross-sectional study evaluating ED visits and subsequent inpatient admissions for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and chest pain (CP) suggestive of CAD from 2006 to 2013 using the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample database weighted for national estimates. We analyzed trends using a generalized linear regression model with a Poisson distribution and Wald test.
resultsFrom 2006 to 2013, there was a 15% decrease in ED visits for CAD (p < 0.01), while ED visit rates for CP increased 31% (p < 0.01). Subsequent inpatient admission rates decreased 18% for CAD (p < 0.01) and 33% for CP (p < 0.01). Trends were not modified by patient and hospital strata.
conclusionED visits and subsequent inpatient admissions resulting from CAD decreased from 2006 to 2013. Patients with CP had a substantially higher number of ED visits, with a significant decline in inpatient admissions.
