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.

Abstract

backgroundSeveral studies have previously demonstrated that higher systolic blood pressure level means lower risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, there is a lack of further investigation into the nonlinear relationship between admission systolic blood pressure (SBP) and adverse outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients.

objectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the specific relationship between admission SBP and incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in 30 days for AMI patients. METHODS AND

resultsUsing data from the ACS-QUIK trial, we analyzed 21,364 patients from Kerala, India. In univariate linear-regression model, the OR was 0.90 per 10mmHg, the confidence interval (CI) was 95% (0.87-0.92) and P < 0.0001. The generalized additive model (GAM) showed a nearly U-shaped curve between admission SBP and MACE. Using a two-piecewise linear regression model, we calculated an inflection point of 159 mmHg. We found that the higher admission SBP is associated with lower incidence of MACE of AMI patients. In addition, subgroups with different LVEF have distinct effects on blood pressure-related outcomes. Lower SBP has a greater risk when LVEF < 40%.

conclusionThe present study revealed the U-shaped relationship between admission SBP and the risk of adverse cardiovascular outcome. The admission SBP could be a marker to provide clinical assessment and treatment.
