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

backgroundPrevious studies have reported a "body mass index (BMI) paradox" with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), whereby overweight patients are associated with lower mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of BMI on survival of patients with AMI supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

methodsBetween May 2009 and July 2018, 60 patients with AMI who underwent ECMO were enrolled from a single center. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine a cutoff for BMI. Patients were divided into two groups: normal weight (18.5 ≤ BMI < 23 kg/m

resultsThe overweight group was significantly younger than the normal weight group, and there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in electrocardiography before ECMO. Ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation occurred in 11 (33.3%) overweight patients, and asystole or pulseless electrical activity occurred in 10 (37%) normal weight patients. More of the normal weight group had successful percutaneous coronary interventions than the overweight group. The overweight group was significantly associated with lower mortality [hazard ratio (HR): 0.491; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.267-0.903] at 30 days, which persisted after multivariate adjustments (HR: 0.442; 95% CI = 0.210-0.928). To determine predictive factors for mortality, multivariate logistic analysis revealed that overweight [odds ratio (OR) 0.102; 95% CI (0.018-0.564); p = 0.009] and ECMO under cardiopulmonary resuscitation [OR 19.009; 95% CI (2.139-168.956); p = 0.008] were significantly associated with all-cause mortality at 30 days.

conclusionsOverweight was associated with lower mortality in AMI patients supported with ECMO.
