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

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is highly prevalent and remains the leading cause of mortality. Particularly in women, under-recognition and management of AMI have been raised. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term trends of prevalence, treatment methodologies, and mortality of AMI by gender. The subjects of this study were patients hospitalized for AMI according to the Korean National Health Insurance Claims Database from 2002 to 2018. Total 633,097 AMI patients were hospitalized, 40% women. The incidence of AMI has been increasing since 2011, with a lower incidence in women. Overall, 53.1% of patients underwent CAG, with a lower tendency in women than in men (39.8% vs. 62.3%). Furthermore, fewer women underwent PCI than men (77.5% vs. 85.8% in 2018, p < 0.0001). Of the 336,463 AMI patients undergoing CAG, women were undertreated with a lower prescription rate of beta-blockers or statins at discharge. When adjusted for age, women showed higher 7-day mortality but lower 1-year mortality relative to men. According to the Korean National Health Insurance Claims Database, women with AMI have been under-recognized, underdiagnosed, and undertreated in terms of revascularization or medical therapy for years suggesting that efforts to close the gender gap are necessary.
