Frequency of Left Bundle Branch Block in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction; A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Galen medical journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundCardiovascular disease (CVDs) is important problems in both developing and developed countries. Currently, non-invasive methods for diagnosis of CVD, especially myocardial infarction (MI), is an interesting subject in the cardiology field. Some evidence showed left bundle branch block (LBBB) is more prevalent among patients with MI. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the frequency of LBBB and their contributing factors in patients with MI. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 150 patients with ST elevation or non-ST elevation on their admission electrocardiography who referred to Boo-Ali and Amir-Al-Momenin hospitals, Tehran from January 2016 to June 2017 entered the study. Frequency of LBBB and right bundle branch block (RBBB) in participants and the contributing factors were determined.
resultsIn this study, of 150 cases (mean age: 60.35±12.88 years), 109 (72.7%) were male, and 41 (27.3%) were female. Out of 150 cases, 12 (8%) had LBBB, 5 (3.3%) RBBB, and 133 (89.7%) had not RBBB or LBBB. Contributing factors were family history, hypertension, and history of ischemic heart disease (P<0.05).
conclusionEight percent of patients with myocardial infarction would develop LBBB, which is related to hypertension, and self and family history of ischemic heart disease.
