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

backgroundDespite advances in the management of coronary disease, the incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the context of coronary artery disease (CAD) remains significant and unpredictable. We investigated the patient and angiographic characteristics, and predictors of long-term outcomes, of patients presenting with cardiac arrest in the context of acute coronary occlusion, to elucidate possible mechanisms of ventricular arrhythmia.

methodsA total of 127 consecutive patients presenting to a tertiary cardiac centre with pulseless ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation during acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were compared to 100 patients with uncomplicated AMI (Cohort A). We also compared a separate group comprising 20 patients with acute RCA occlusion complicated by cardiac arrest and 24 patients with uncomplicated inferior STEMI (Cohort B).

resultsIn Cohort A, there was a higher incidence of proximal lesions in the arrest group (55% vs. 41%,

conclusionsVT/VF arrest due to acute coronary occlusion was more common in those with proximal disease and there was an increased incidence of SANa and/or CA involvement in non-LAD infarcts. Short-term mortality was higher in patients with cardiac arrest post-AMI, but beyond 30 days there was no significant difference.
