Clinical and Angiographic Profile of Acute Coronary Syndrome in Adults Under 40 Years: A Cross-sectional Observational Study.
Observational study in Annals of African medicine, 2026. 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
backgroundAcute coronary syndrome (ACS) in young adults presents unique clinical and diagnostic challenges, with limited data from the Indian subcontinent.
aimThis study aims to assess the clinical profile, risk factors, and diagnostic findings of ACS in adults aged ≤40 years. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis hospital-based, cross-sectional study included 60 patients aged 18-40 with confirmed ACS. Clinical symptoms, laboratory investigations, Electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography, and coronary angiography were analyzed. Associations were tested using the Chi-square test, with P < 0.05 considered statistically significant.
resultsThe median age was 35.5 years; 96.7% were males. Breathlessness and palpitations were reported in all cases, while chest pain was present in 81.7%. Hypertension (40%), diabetes (31.7%), smoking (28.3%), and drug use (55%) were common risk factors. Single-vessel disease was the predominant angiographic finding (61.7%). Smoking correlated significantly with ECG abnormalities ( P = 0.0382), and diabetes with severe coronary involvement ( P = 0.0429).
conclusionsACS in young adults is more prevalent in males and often presents with nonclassical symptoms. Diabetes and smoking are significantly associated with diagnostic severity. Early risk identification and preventive strategies are essential in this population.
