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

backgroundIn recent years, the prevalence rate of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in Chinese young women has been increasing significantly, becoming one of the main causes of death in young females. A matter of constant concern is what is the characteristics and differences in risk factors between young women with ACS and without ACS. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics and difference of risk factors in Chinese young women with ACS and to provide references for ACS prevention and treatment.

methodsA 1:1 case-control study was conducted to evaluate risk factors of 415 young females with ACS (ACS group) who underwent PCI treatment and 415 young females without ACS (control group) who were hospitalized and confirmed by coronary angiography to exclude coronary heart disease from January 2010 to August 2016. The average age of the cases in groups was respectively (40.77 ± 4.02) and (40.57 ± 4.01) years-old (P > 0.05).

resultsThe risk factors in ACS group were overweight (64.10%), hypertension (49.88%), hyperlipidemia (40.72%), diabetes (23.37%), depression or anxiety (16.63%), gynecological diseases (16.39%), Hyperuricemia (14.94%), family history of early-onset CHD (14.94%), hyperhomocysteinemia (11.33%), hypothyroidism (9.64%), hypercholesterolemia (8.43%) and high C-reactive protein (7.47%), and were significant difference (P < 0.01) compared with that of the control group. The average number of risk factors per case in ACS group was significantly more than that of control groups (P < 0.01). Regression analysis showed that hyperlipidemia, hyperhomocysteinemia, overweight (obesity), high CRP, hypertension, hypothyroidism, gynecological diseases, depression or anxiety, cardiac insufficiency, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, oral contraceptives, family history of early-onset CHD, and autoimmune diseases were independent risk factors (P < 0.01). The bivariate correlation analysis between CRP level and age was r = - 0.158 (P < 0.01). The result showed the younger ACS patient is the higher serum CRP.

conclusionThe independent risk factors of ACS in young women are hyperlipidemia, hyperhomocysteinemia, overweight, high CRP, hypertension, hypothyroidism, gynecological diseases, depression or anxiety, cardiac insufficiency, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, oral contraceptives, family history of early-onset CHD, and autoimmune diseases. The co-existence of multiple risk factors is the main cause suffering from ACS in young women.
