Trends in Ambulatory Analgesic Usage after Myocardial Infarction: A Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study of Real-World Data.

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
Although current guidelines for myocardial infarction (MI) recommend caution in using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), real-world studies of ambulatory settings are rare. This study aimed to explore the patterns and trends of analgesic prescriptions (especially NSAIDs) among patients with a history of MI in ambulatory care settings in Korea. We analyzed real-world data from the Korea National Health Insurance Service database. Patients aged 20 years or older hospitalized with incident MI were identified between January 2007 and December 2015. Ambulatory analgesics were administered after discharge from incident hospitalization for MI, and annual trends in the prescriptions of individual analgesics were evaluated. Among the 93,597 patients with incident MI, 75,131 (80.3%) received a total of 2,081,705 ambulatory analgesic prescriptions. Prescriptions were mainly issued at primary care clinics (80.3%). Analgesics were most frequently prescribed for musculoskeletal diseases (often NSAIDs, 70.7%); aceclofenac (13.7%) and diclofenac injection (9.4%) were the frequently used NSAIDs. Additionally, significant changes were observed in the trends for some analgesics, such as loxoprofen. This study suggested that NSAIDs are commonly prescribed to patients with a history of MI. Future real-world studies are needed to elucidate the drug-disease interactions of NSAIDs prescribed after MI, especially for patients with musculoskeletal diseases.
