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

objectivesTo measure the gender differences in patient-reported outcomes and cardiac symptoms in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) at King Khalid University Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 240 randomly selected ACS patients aged ≥18 years. Data were collected using validated questionnaires, including Patient-reported outcomes measures, the Rose Dyspnea Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire, and Seattle Angina Questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with quality of life (QoL).

resultsThe study included 60% males and 40% females. Females reported significantly lower global physical health scores (11.62 [±2.49] versus (vs) 13.68 [±2.68],

conclusionFemale gender, advanced age, and lower income were associated with worse patient-reported outcomes in ACS patients. Healthcare providers should consider these disparities to improve management strategies and QoL in this population.
