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

This Policy Resource and Education Paper (PREP) from the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) discusses the use of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) in the emergency department setting. This brief review discusses types of hs-cTn assays as well as the interpretation of hs-cTn in the setting of various clinical factors such as renal dysfunction, sex, and the important distinction between myocardial injury versus myocardial infarction. In addition, the PREP provides one possible example of an algorithm for the use of a hs-cTn assay in patients in whom the treating clinician is concerned about potential acute coronary syndrome.
