Impact of Socioeconomic Disparities on Care and Outcomes of Cancer Patients Presenting With STEMI Between 2005 and 2019; a Nationwide British Study.
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundWhile current evidence suggests that the clinical outcomes of STEMI are worse among patients with cancer, it is unknown what role the patient's socioeconomic status plays.
methodsA nationally linked cohort of STEMI patients (January 2005 to March 2019) was obtained from the MINAP and UK national Hospital Episode Statistics (HES APC) registries. Socioeconomic status was measured using Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) score divided into 5 quintiles (quintile 1: most affluent, quintile 5: most deprived). The impact of socioeconomic status on clinical outcomes was assessed using Cox-proportional-hazard and competing risk models.
resultsA total of 8459 STEMI admissions with cancer were identified between 01/01/2005 and 30/03/2019 with 1577 patients (18%) from the most deprived quintile. Patients from the most deprived quintile were more frequently female (quintile 5; 29% vs. quintile 1; 24%) and from ethnic minorities (quintile 5; 8% vs. quintile 1; 2%). They were less likely to receive PCI between 2005 and 2009. By 2018 PCI use was higher in quintile 5 (quintile 5; 84% vs. quintile 1;81%). The odds of death at1year was not higher in the most deprived patients. The risk of death was significantly higher at 5 years post-discharge (HR 1.27, 95% CI 1.10-1.47).
conclusionsThe socioeconomic status impact on outcomes of STEMI patients with cancer can be minimized by delivering equitable inpatient care, particularly PCI. While patients from the most deprived areas have similar odds of survival in the short-term, they have lower probability of survival in the long-term.
