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

objectiveThere is a known relationship between frontal-QRS-T (F-QRS-T) angle and coronary artery disease (CAD). This study examined the relationship between F-QRS-T angle changes and CAD severity in patients with stable CAD.

methodsA total of 202 patients were included in the study after the implementation of exclusion criteria among 894 patients, who were admitted to the outpatient clinic with stable angina pectoris between September 2018 and September 2019. The F-QRS-T angle calculated on the 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) of the patients (taken in the outpatient clinic), and the CAD severity calculated using the Gensini score in patients undergoing coronary angiography were compared.

resultsOf the patients included in the study, 38.6% were female and 61.4% were male. The mean age was calculated as 60.16±11.27 years, and 52% of the patients had hypertension. There was no difference between the groups in terms of demographic and clinical values. In a comparison of CAD severity and F-QRS-T angles, the F-QRS-T angle was seen to be statistically significantly higher in the severe CAD group [91°° (102/79)] compared to the group with mild CAD [53°° (64/38)]. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, there was a significant association between the F-QRS-T angle (odds ratio=1.09, 95% confidence interval=1.06-1.11, p<0.001) and CAD severity.

conclusionIt seems that CAD severity in patients who were non-diabetic and had stable angina pectoris is associated with the F-QRS-T angle.
