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

backgroundWe aimed to demonstrate the prognostic value of Selvester QRS scores in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

methodsIn this prospective, observational study, we screened 289 patients with acute STEMI who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from 1 January 2014 to 1 June 2015 at the Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University. Selvester QRS scores were calculated at the time of hospital admission and within 24 h after treatment for PCI. The primary endpoint was the 2-year mortality rate, and the secondary endpoint was any nonfatal major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE).

resultsOf the 289 patients, the QRS score increased in 115 (39.8%), and the 2-year mortality and MACE rates were significantly higher in these patients than in those in whom the QRS score decreased or remained unchanged after the treatment of PCI. Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that both baseline QRS scores and changes in QRS scores were independently associated with the 2-year mortality rate [hazard ratio (HR) 1.462, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.279-1.671 and HR 5.122, 95% CI 2.128-12.328, respectively), MACE rate (HR 1.119, 95% CI 1.019-1.229 and HR 2.585, 95% CI 1.260-5.303, respectively) and composite endpoint (HR 1.137, 95% CI 1.047-1.236 and HR 3.152, 95% CI 1.704-5.829, respectively) after adjusting for other risk factors.

conclusionIn conclusion, both baseline Selvester QRS scores and changes in QRS scores independently predicted poor outcomes in patients with acute STEMI who underwent PCI.
