In-Hospital Outcomes of Female Patients With Inferior Wall 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
Background The aim of this study was to determine the in-hospital outcome of female patients with inferior wall myocardial infarction (MI). Methodology This study was conducted from January to December 2017 at the Department of Cardiology, National Institute of Cardiovascular Disease, Karachi. A total of 59 women admitted with inferior wall MI were enrolled in the study. In all patients, in-hospital outcomes were observed. Descriptive statistics were applied. Stratification was done using chi-square test, and p-value of ≤0.05 was considered significant. Results The mean age of study participants was 58.80 ± 9.17 years, while 247 (79.7%) participants were above 50 years of age. The mean onset of duration of sign and symptoms of inferior wall MI was 3.48 ± 1.53 hours. There were 36 (61.0%) patients who had diabetes mellitus, 46 (78.0%) had hypertension, 17 (28.8%) were obese, nine (15.3%) had a family history of MI, and three (5.1%) were smokers. There were 43 (72.9%) patients who were illiterate. In our study, eight (13.6%) females were found to have sinus bradycardia, seven (11.9%) had sinus tachycardia, three (5.1%) had atrial fibrillation, and 24 (40.7%) had complete heart block. Mortality was noted in five (8.5%) patients. Conclusions Women with an acute inferior wall MI had a higher rate of complete heart block and adverse in-hospital outcomes. Female gender itself with inferior wall MI may be at risk for in-hospital adverse outcomes.
