Troponin Elevation in Older Patients with Acute Pneumonia: Frequency and Prognostic Value.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Cardiovascular (CV) events are particularly frequent after acute pneumonia (AP) in the elderly. We aimed to assess whether cardiac troponin I, a specific biomarker of myocardial injury, independently predicts CV events and death after AP in older inpatients. Among 214 consecutive patients with AP aged ≥75 years admitted to a university hospital, 171 with a cardiac troponin I sample in the 72 h following diagnosis of AP were included, and 71 (42%) were found to have myocardial injury (troponin > 100 ng/L). Patients with and without myocardial injury were similar in terms of age, gender and comorbidities, but those with myocardial injury had more severe clinical presentation (median (interquartile range) Pneumonia Severity Index: 60 (40-95) vs. 45 (30-70),
