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

resultsIn 100 patients (mean age 67.1, 65% male), no significant differences were observed in ACT values obtained from the guiding catheter and arterial sheath (mean difference (MD) -18.3 s; standard deviation (SD) 96 s;

conclusionsThe present study shows statistical significance and possibly clinically relevant variations between ACT measurements from different sample sites. Bias in ACT measurements may be minimized by using uniform protocols for ACT measurement during cardiac catheterization.
