Can the Location of Angina Predict the Site of Coronary Artery Occlusion in Acute Myocardial Infarction? - The ACOLYTE Study.

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
Aim: To evaluate the relationship between the location of chest pain (topography) and the site of coronary artery involvement in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Materials and methods: This prospective, observational study included 411 consecutive ACS patients admitted to a tertiary care center between January 2017 and December 2019. A total of 589 angina topographic sites were analyzed. The site and characteristics of chest pain, along with electrocardiogram and coronary angiography findings, were documented and assessed for correlation with the involved coronary artery. Results: Among the 411 patients, 337 (82.0 %) were male and 74 (18.0 %) were female. The mean age was 57.03 ± 11.28 years. In both ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), the left anterior descending (LAD) artery was the most commonly affected vessel-201 cases (63.4 %) in STEMI and 49 (53.3 %) in NSTEMI. LAD occlusion correlated with retrosternal pain (r = 0.298, p = 0.001). The left circumflex artery showed a correlation with jaw and neck pain (r = 0.647, p = 0.001) and backache with shoulder pain (r = 0.585, p = 0.001). The right coronary artery correlated with retrosternal plus jaw and neck pain (r = 0.713, p = 0.001), and with retrosternal plus back pain (r = 0.719, p = 0.001). Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between the topography of chest pain and the involved coronary artery. These findings may aid in early recognition of the culprit vessel in ACS and serve as a foundation for future diagnostic tools, especially in resource-limited settings.
