Relationship Between Body Mass Index and Outcomes in Acute Myocardial Infarction.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: The prevalence of obesity in the United States is high. Obesity is one of the leading risk factors in the development of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Nevertheless, how obesity impacts AMI in-hospital outcomes remains controversial. Methods: Using National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database, we identified patients diagnosed with AMI from the year 2015 to 2018. We divided these patients into five subgroups based on their body mass index (BMI). We compared outcomes such as mortality, length of inpatient stay, and inpatient complications between our subgroups. Statistical analysis was done using the program STATA. Our nationally representative analysis included 561,535 patients who had an AMI event across various weight classes. Results: Most of our sample was obese (BMI > 30 kg/m Conclusion: The current analysis of a nationally representative sample showed the clinical implications of BMI in patients with AMI. Patients with a BMI of 30 - 40 kg/m
