Hematologic Indices and Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) Risk Score in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients in Ethiopia.
Article in Ethiopian journal of health sciences, 2024. 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
Background: Prognostic ratings are essential for making quick clinical decisions. In patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score is often used to predict in-hospital mortality. Hematological indices are strongly correlated with the likelihood of adverse outcomes in ACS patients, given the systemic hypoxemia and inflammation linked to its pathophysiology. This study aimed to assess the relationship between hematologic indices and the GRACE risk score in ACS patients. Methods: We consecutively recruited patients diagnosed with ACS at Jimma Medical Center (JMC) from May 1, 2022, to October 31, 2023. We performed biochemical analyses and complete blood counts, calculating GRACE scores. We correlated two continuous parameters and evaluated GRACE risk score independent predictors using multivariate linear regression analysis. Results: A total of 110 patients were included, with 74 (67.3%) being men. The mean age was 56 (±11) years. Significant correlations were found between red cell distribution width (RDW), mean platelet volume (MPV), plateletcrit, and platelet count with worse GRACE risk scores (r = 0.569, P <r = 0.585, P < 0.001; r = 0.400, P < 0.001; r = 0.274, P < 0.013, respectively). In multivariable linear regression, higher RDW and MPV were associated with higher GRACE risk scores. Conclusion: This study revealed significant differences in hematologic parameters among ACS patients with varying GRACE risk scores. Increased RDW and MPV were identified as independent predictors for high GRACE risk scores.
