Prognostic value of admission respiratory rate in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

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
backgroundRespiratory rate (RR) is one important vital sign that is often neglected in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of admission RR on the prognosis in patients with AMI.
methodsThis study included 5631 AMI patients from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) and 1323 patients from The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University (validation cohort). The primary endpoint was 30-day all-cause mortality. Patients were divided into increased RR group (RR > 20 breaths/min) and normal RR group (RR ≤ 20 breaths/min) based on admission RR.
resultsIn the MIMIC-IV cohort, the median age was 70 years and 3503 (62.2%) patients were male. Compared to patients with normal RR, patients with admission RR > 20 breaths/min had significantly increased risk of 30-day all-cause mortality (14.2% vs. 27.5%, p < 0.001). After multivariate adjustment, admission RR > 20 breaths/min was independently associated with increased risk of 30-day all-cause mortality (HR 1.715; 95%CI 1.507-1.952, p < 0.001). The findings from MIMIC-IV were validated in the data from The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University and the results were consistent.
conclusionRR is not only a vital sign but also a simple and practical indicator for predicting the prognosis of patients with AMI. Increased RR upon admission independently predicted a higher risk of poor outcomes, making it a valuable tool for early risk stratification and guiding timely interventions.
