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

The proportion of young individuals that present with acute myocardial infarction is a major problem that keeps increasing. The specific characteristics of premature coronary artery disease and its differences between young and older individuals need to be elucidated. Although risk factors are similar in different age categories, there is a great difference in their prevalence. The vast majority of young patients are males and there is a higher prevalence of cigarette smoking, family history of premature coronary artery disease, lipid disorders, and illicit drug use, while the prevalence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus is lower. Young individuals with acute coronary syndrome usually present either with ST-segment elevation or non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. It is not unusual for young patients to present with atypical symptoms to the office of primary care physicians, leading occasionally to incorrect or delayed diagnosis. Therefore, prompt and correct diagnosis is necessary to implement the specific management as quickly as possible. A literature research of studies was conducted for the last 10 years, regarding the risk factors and prevention of premature myocardial infarction. As databases, we used PubMed and peer reviewed journals. The aim of this review is to raise awareness among family medicine and primary care physicians, regarding the clinical presentation of young patients with acute myocardial infarction, to provide optimal medical attention.
