Home-Time After Discharge Among Patients With Type 2 Myocardial Infarction.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Background Home-time, defined as the time spent alive outside of a healthcare institution, has emerged as a patient-centered health outcome. The discharge locations and distribution of home-time after a type 2 myocardial infarction are unknown. Methods and Results Patients with a type 2 myocardial infarction between October 2017 and May 2018 at Massachusetts General Hospital were included. Patients discharged to hospice or without follow-up data were excluded. Our primary outcome was home-time defined as the number of days lived outside of a hospital, long-term acute care facility, skilled nursing facility, or rehabilitation facility. We identified 359 patients with type 2 myocardial infarction over the study period. Of those discharged alive (N=321), 62.9% were discharged home, and the remainder went to a facility or hospice. Among those with available follow-up data (N=289), the median home-time was 30 (interquartile range [IQR], 16-30) days at 30 days, 171 (IQR, 133-180) days at 180 days, and 347 (IQR, 203-362) days at 365 days. At 1 year, 29 patients (10%) with type 2 myocardial infarction had spent no time at home and only 57 patients (19.7%) spent the entire year alive and at home. At 1 year, postdischarge all-cause mortality was 23.2%, all-cause readmission was 69.2%, and major adverse cardiovascular events (composite of all-cause mortality, recurrent myocardial infarction, or stroke) was 34.9%. Home-time through 1 year correlated strongly with time-to-event all-cause mortality (τ=0.54,
