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

Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) constitutes 3-15% of all acute myocardial infarctions. Women are more frequently diagnosed with MINOCA, although the influence of sex on long-term outcomes is still unclear. In this study we aimed to compare sex-based differences in baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes in patients with suspected MINOCA. We have retrospectively analyzed 6063 patients diagnosed with MINOCA (3220 females and 2843 male patients) from combined 3 large polish registries (PL-ACS, SILCARD and AMI-PL). Male patients were significantly younger (63 (55-74) vs. 71 (61-79) years, p < 0.05) and less frequently diabetic (20.1% vs. 24.1%, p < 0.05). Mortality was significantly higher in male population (11.8% vs. 10.2%, p < 0.05 at 1 year and 17.6% vs. 15.0%, p < 0.05 at 3 years). Male sex was an independent predictor of both mortality (HR = 1.29; CI 1.11-1.51; p < 0.05) and myocardial infarction (HR = 1.39; CI 1.1-1.75, p < 0.05) at 3 years follow-up. All-cause readmission rates were similar in male and female patients both at 1 year (46.0% vs. 44.4, p = 0.2) and 3 years follow-up (56.4% vs. 56.5%, p = 0.93). However, cardiovascular readmissions were more prevalent in male patients at both timepoints (33.9% vs. 29.10%, p < 0.05 at 1 year, and 41.0% vs. 37.6%, p < 0.05 at 3 years). This large-scale registry-based analysis demonstrated higher 3 years rates of adverse events, including death and MI among male patients with suspected MINOCA.
