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

Sex differences in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are a matter of debate. We investigated sex-specific differences in the incidence, outcomes, and related interventions in patients diagnosed with ACS in Germany over the past decade. All ACS cases from 2005 to 2015 were collected. Procedures and inhospital mortality were assessed by sex. Age-adjusted incidence rates were calculated. In total, 1,366,045 females and 2,431,501 males presenting with ACS were recorded. Females were older than males (73.1 vs. 66.4 years of age), had a longer mean hospital stay (7.7 vs. 6.9 days), and less frequently underwent coronary angiographies (55% vs. 66%) and coronary interventions (35% vs. 47%). The age-adjusted incidence rate of ACS was lower in females than in males, and decreased in both sexes from 2005 to 2015. The age-adjusted inhospital mortality rate was substantially higher in females than in males, but decreased in both sexes over time (in females, from 87 to 71 cases per 1000 person years; in males, from 57 to 51 cases per 1000 person years). In conclusion, we reported sex differences in the incidence, treatment, and outcomes of ACS patients in Germany within the past decade. Women had a substantially higher mortality rate and lower rate of coronary interventions.
