Passive Prescription of Secondary Prevention Medical Therapy during Index Hospitalization for Acute Myocardial Infarction Is Prevalent and Associated with Adverse Clinical Outcomes.
Article in Journal of healthcare engineering, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. 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
Secondary prevention therapy reduces death and reinfarction after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but it is underutilized in clinical practice. Mechanisms for this therapeutic gap are not well established. In this study, we have explored and evaluated the impact of passive continuation compared to active initiation of secondary prevention therapy for AMI during the index hospitalization. For this purpose, we have analyzed 1083 consecutive patients with AMI to a tertiary referral hospital in Hong Kong and assessed discharge prescription rates of secondary prevention therapies (aspirin, beta-blockers, statins, and ACEI/ARBs). Multivariate analysis was used to identify independent predictors of discharge medication, and Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to evaluate 12-month survival. Overall, prescription rates of aspirin, beta-blocker, statin, and ACEI/ARBs on discharge were 94.8%, 64.5%, 83.5%, and 61.4%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that prior use of each therapy was an independent predictor of prescription of the same therapy on discharge: aspirin (odds ratio (OR) = 4.8, 95% CI = 1.9-12.3,
