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

backgroundDespite effective interventional treatments, the mortality of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is still high. Several mortality predictors are known in STEMI. Platelet-to-hemoglobin ratio (PHR) is a recently used mortality parameter in cardiac or non-cardiac diseases. We aim to investigate the relationship of PHR with in-hospital mortality in patients with STEMI.

methodsEight hundred eighty-four patients were included in the study. All of them underwent coronary intervention due to STEMI. Demographic characteristics, laboratory, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic parameters were analyzed from hospital records. A cut-off value for PHR was determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Then, patients were divided into two groups PHR < 1.99 and PHR ≥ 1.99. The data of both groups were compared.

resultsThe median age of the study population was 64 (54-75). Of these 633 (71.6 %) were male and 251 (28.4 %) were female. All cause mortality of the study population was 9.7% (n=86). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, PHR was independently associated with a significantly increased risk of in-hospital mortality for STEMI (OR: 2.645, CI: 1.641-4.263, p< 0.001). Also, age (OR: 1.044, CI: 1.021-1.067, p< 0.001), mean arterial pressure (MAP) less than 87 mmHg (OR: 2.078, CI: 1.185-3.645, p= 0.011), prior coronary artery disease (CAD) (OR: 2.839, CI: 1.345-5.993, p= 0.006), anterior myocardial infarction (MI) (OR: 1.912, CI: 1.069-3.421, p= 0.029), creatinine (OR: 3.710, CI: 2.255-6.106, p<0.001), alanine transaminase (ALT) (OR: 1.004, CI: 1.001-1.007, p=0.002), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (OR: 1.122, CI: 1.014-1.242, p= 0.025) were determined as independent predictors of in-hospital mortality.

conclusionIn conclusion, we found that PHR is an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients with STEMI.
