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

objectiveThyroid hormones are closely related to the cardiovascular system. Our study aimed to explore the impact of admission thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels on long-term outcomes in patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by detailed stratifications of TSH.

methodsConsecutive STEMI patients admitted to our hospital were divided into four groups: Group 1 (TSH <0.35 mIU/L), Group 2 (TSH 0.35-1.0 mIU/L), Group 3 (TSH 1.0-3.5 mIU/L), and Group 4 (TSH >3.5 mIU/L). The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality during follow-up, and the median follow-up was 2.5 years. Cox proportional hazard regression models were performed to identify the prognostic value of TSH.

resultsA total of 1186 patients were included. Group 4 was presented with higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure (all P < 0.001), and Group 1 had more patients complicated by heart failure (Killip class >I, P = 0.014). During follow-up, 138 deaths occurred. Patients in Group 4 had the worst long-term outcomes (P < 0.001). The cumulative survival in Group 4 was remarkably lower (Log rank P < 0.001), whereas the other three groups were comparable (Log rank P = 0.365). Through Cox regression analysis, only TSH >3.5 mIU/L was identified as an independent risk factor for long-term mortality after STEMI.

conclusionOnly TSH elevation beyond the normal range was associated with worse long-term prognosis in STEMI patients, while high-normal TSH or reduced TSH did not alter long-term prognosis of STEMI patients. TSH >3.5 mIU/L was an independent risk factor for long-term mortality in STEMI.
