HEART score for the assessment of patients presenting to emergency department with chest pain.
Observational study in BMC research notes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectivesThe aim of this study is to evaluate how well the History, Electrocardiogram (ECG), Age, Risk factors and Troponin (HEART) score predict patient outcomes in the emergency department (ED), focusing on discharge rates, observation needs, interventions, and mortality. RESULTS DESCRIPTION: A prospective observational study was conducted among 120 adult patients with chest pain who reported to the ED at medical college and hospital, Chennai from March 2024 to May 2024. Of the 120 patients, 64% were male and half of the patients were reported with symptoms of chest pain to the emergency department. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension emerged as the primary risk factor affecting patients. The mean HEART score is 5.18 ± 1.98 (95% CI 4.82-5.53) which ranged between 1 and 9. The HEART score categorised most patients (56%) as moderate risk. Outcomes of the patients' status demonstrated that 65% required ICU admission, with a low mortality rate of 2.5%. This study concluded that the HEART score is effective for risk assessment in chest pain patients, helping to identify those safe for discharge and those needing further care. Its use can improve decision-making and outcomes in the ED.
