CORRELATES OF IN-HOSPITAL MORTALITY IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME IN KOSOVO.
Observational study in Acta clinica Croatica, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
It has been demonstrated that pre-hospital emergency care reduces in-hospital mortality in patients admitted with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between pre-hospital emergency care and in-hospital mortality in ACS patients treated at the University Clinical Centre of Kosovo Emergency Department (UCCK ED). This observational clinical study included 1498 ACS patients treated at UCCK ED and followed-up by phone call for one year after discharge from the hospital. According to multivariate Cox regression analysis, age (HR=2.37, 95% CI 1.67-3.52), pre-hospital emergency care (HR=3.92, 95% CI 2.35-6.54), STEMI (HR=6.17, 95% CI 3.22-15.31), diabetes mellitus (HR=3.01, 95% CI 1.98-3.78), left ventricular ejection fraction <40% (HR=17.63, 95% CI 11.2-30.54) and ex-smoking (HR=2.34, 95% CI 1.57-3.85) were significant predictors of mortality in ACS patients. In-hospital mortality of patients admitted with ACS remains high in Kosovo as compared with developed countries. A better strategy for pre-hospital emergency care in Kosovo is recommended to save lives in these high-risk patients.
