Usefulness of ankle-brachial index calculated using diastolic blood pressure for prediction of mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

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
A low ankle-brachial index (ABI) calculated using systolic blood pressure (SBP) (ABIsbp) is associated with poor cardiovascular outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). ABI is always calculated using SBP clinically. However, there was no study investigating ABI calculated using mean artery pressure (MAP)(ABImap) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP)(ABIdbp) for mortality prediction in AMI patients. Therefore, our study was aimed to investigate the issue. 199 AMI patients were enrolled. Different ABIs were measured by an ABI-form device. The median follow-up to mortality was 64 months. There were 40 cardiovascular and 137 all-cause mortality. The best cutoff values of ABImbp and ABIdbp for mortality prediction were 0.91 and 0.78, respectively. After multivariate analysis, only ABIdbp and ABIdbp < 0.78 could predict cardiovascular mortality (P ≤ .047). However, all of six ABI parameters, including ABIsbp, ABImap, ABIdbp, ABIsbp < 0.90, ABImap < 0.91, and ABIdbp < 0.78, could predict all-cause mortality (P ≤ .048). In a direct comparison of six ABI models for prediction of all-cause mortality, basic model + ABIdbp <0.78 had the highest predictive value (P ≤ .025). In conclusion, only ABIdbp and ABIdbp < 0.78 could predict cardiovascular and all-cause mortality after multivariate analysis in our study. Furthermore, when adding into a basic model, ABIdbp < 0.78 had the highest additively predictive value for all-cause mortality in the six ABI parameters. Hence, calculation of ABI using DBP except SBP might provide an extra benefit in prediction of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in AMI patients.
