Usefulness of the AHEAD score for prediction of all-cause death in patients with acute and chronic coronary syndromes.
Article in International journal of cardiology. Cardiovascular risk and prevention, 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
Background: The AHEAD (A: atrial fibrillation; H: hemoglobin; E: elderly; A: abnormal renal parameters; D: diabetes mellitus) score was developed to predict all-cause death (ACD) in patients with heart failure. However, its predictive value for ACD compared to the CHADS Methods: This retrospective multicenter cohort study analyzed data of the patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention for acute (ACS) or chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) using the Clinical Deep Data Accumulation System (CLIDAS) database. The AHEAD score was calculated by assigning 1 point each for atrial fibrillation, anemia, age >70 years, elevated creatinine levels (>130 μmol/L), and diabetes mellitus. Results: In total, 9033 patients were enrolled between April 2013 and March 2019. Cox multivariate analysis revealed that both the AHEAD and CHADS Conclusions: The AHEAD score demonstrated superior predictive value for ACD compared to the CHADS
