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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesHyperinsulinemia plays a key role in the development of cardiovascular impairment in patients with metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of hyperinsulinemia on long-term clinical outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients without diabetes mellitus who have acute myocardial syndrome (ACS).

methodsBetween March 2016 and January 2019, we enrolled 468 patients with ACS and without diabetes mellitus who received primary PCI. Patients were divided into a low-insulin group (n = 157), medium-insulin group (n = 154), and high-insulin group (n = 157) according to tertiles of fasting insulin level. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE; all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization [TVR]) at 24 months. The secondary endpoint was angina hospitalization.

resultsPatients in the high-insulin group had an unfavorable prognosis, with a higher rate of MACE (34.39%) than the low-insulin group (22.29%) and medium-insulin group (23.37%) at 24 months (P < 0.05). This difference was mainly driven by the increase in TVR. The high-insulin group also had a higher rate of angina hospitalization than the low-insulin group. Cox proportional hazards regression showed that high-insulin level (hazard ratio [HR] 1.870, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.202-2.909), small-vessel lesion (HR 1.713, 95% CI 1.111-2.642), bifurcation lesion (HR 3.394, 95% CI 2.033-5.067), SYNTAX score (HR 1.084, 95% CI 1.039-1.130), and stent length (HR 1.017, 95% CI 1.002-1.032) increased the incidence of MACE in patients with ACS and without diabetes who underwent PCI.

conclusionHyperinsulinemia might be a valid predictor of clinical outcomes in patients with ACS undergoing PCI.
