Effect of Gender on the Outcomes of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the impact of gender on the outcomes among ST elevation myocardial infarction patients at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods This retrospective study analyzed the data of 900 patients (770 males and 130 females) admitted between January 2016 and December 2018 diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We recorded the baseline characteristics, comorbidities, treatment, complications, and mortality for all patients, and compared these data between female and male patients. Results The baseline characteristics: BMI and age were higher in females and were statistically significant (p = 0.0001). We found a higher incidence of heart failure in females than in males which was statistically significant (p = 0.0010). In addition, the mortality rate was higher in female than in male patients, although this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.3850). Conclusion In conclusion, despite the advances in the technology and the use of novel reperfusion therapies females were associated with poorer outcomes after adjustment of the baseline characteristics and risk factors. In other words, heart failure, mitral regurgitation, and arrhythmias were higher in females with significant p values.
