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

BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess the roles of the Morris index in predicting poor outcomes in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). MATERIAL AND METHODS This study included 905 patients with newly diagnosed NSTE-ACS. The Morris index, also known as P wave terminal force in lead V1 (PTFV1), was recorded at admission and discharge. PTVF1 (+) was defined as an absolute value >0.04 mm·s, while PTFV1 (-) was defined as an absolute value <0.04 mm·s. Based on their PTFV1 values at admission/discharge, patients were divided into 4 groups: PTFV1 (-)/(-), PTFV1 (+)/(-), PTFV1 (-)/(+), and PTFV1 (+)/(+). Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were utilized to identify the variables that could contribute to NSTE-ACS risk. RESULTS Compared with the PTFV1 (-)/(-) group, the incidence of poor outcomes was significantly higher in the PTFV1 (-)/(+) (hazard ratio [HR], 3.548; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 2.024-6.219) and PTFV1 (+)/(+) (HR, 2.133; 95% CI, 1.141-3.986) groups, but not statistically different in the PTFV1 (+)/(-) group (risk ratio, 0.983; 95% CI, 0.424-2.277). CONCLUSIONS Primary PTFV1 (+) at discharge and PTFV1 (+) during hospitalization were independent risk factors for poor outcomes, which may provide useful prognostic information for patients with NSTE-ACS.
