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

objectivesCoronary angiography and emergency coronary revascularizations are critical for decreasing morbidity and mortality linked to coronary artery disease. Establishing and maintaining this service in armed conflict and on the battlefield poses challenges; however, it remains achievable. This study aimed to evaluate the results of coronary angiography in Sudan amid the armed conflict of 2023-2024.

methodsThis study utilized a retrospective descriptive analysis conducted at El-Obeid International Hospital (Aldaman) in North Kordofan State, Sudan. Patient data was obtained from the hospital for the period spanning April 15, 2023, to April 30, 2024.

resultsOut of 314 diagnostic coronary angiograms, 32% had PCI with DES implantation, 18% showed normal coronary arteries, and the other 50% were treated with medication and advice from heart surgeons (CTC). Among the 100 patients who underwent PCI, 64% were male and 36% were female. The predominant age group was 50-59 years, succeeded by 60-69 years, under 50 years, and over 60 years, with incidence rates of 30%, 29.9%, 20.3%, and 18.2%, respectively.

conclusionsThe offering of cardiac catheterization laboratory services amid armed conflict poses challenges but is nonetheless feasible. Despite the tragedy, constrained resources, and the impact of wartime conditions, our findings were consistent with prior reports both locally and globally.
