Interactions of ST-elevation myocardial infarction, age, and sex and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events among Chinese adults: a secondary analysis of a single-centre prospective cohort.
Article in BMJ open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the interactions of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), ageing and sex with respect to the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among Chinese adults.
designSecondary analysis of a single-centre prospective cohort.
settingPatients who were admitted to cardiology clinics of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University due to acute myocardial infarction (MI) from June 2017 to November 2019 were eligible for inclusion in the study. This research only examined in-hospital cases.
participantsPatients aged <18 years or confirmed dead within 24 hours from admission were excluded. A total of 843 adults were included in the analysis. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: MACE was defined as any occurrence of cardiovascular mortality, MI recurrence, cardiogenic shock or heart failure. The relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI), attributable proportion (AP) and the synergy index were computed to quantify the interactions. Men without STEMI and adults without STEMI aged <60 years were the reference groups when examining the risk of MACE.
resultsThe female participants with STEMI showed a statistically higher risk of MACE compared with the male participants without STEMI (relative risk (RR): 2.713, CI: 1.350 to 5.426, p=0.005). A 3.327 times higher risk of MACE was detected in the older adults with STEMI (aged ≥60 years) compared with the adults without STEMI aged <60 years (RR: 3.327, CI: 1.414 to 8.955, p=0.01). Older female patients also had an increased risk of MACE (RR: 3.033, CI: 1.432 to 6.777, p=0.005). A positive additive interaction was detected between STEMI and age (RERI: 1.917, CI: 0.196 to 3.637; AP: 0.576, CI: 0.174 to 0.979). STEMI and sex also indicated an additive interaction (AP: 0.459, CI: 0.018 to 0.899).
conclusionIn this Chinese population with MI, the risk of MACE was increased by about 2.7 times in women with STEMI compared with men without STEMI. MACE incidence increased by about 3.3 times in older patients with STEMI compared with younger patients without STEMI. STEMI and age, and STEMI and sex, may have a positive additive interaction.
