Clinical presentation and outcomes of acute myocardial infarction with vs. without ST elevation in octogenarians.
Article in Cardiology journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAs a result of increased life expectancy, the number of octa- and nonagenarians presenting with myocardial infarction is on the rise. These patients are often underrepresented in clinical trials. The aim of this study was to compare the presentation and outcomes of ST-elevation (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) in patients older than 80 years.
methodsThis retrospective study included 14758 patients above 80 years of age hospitalized with STEMI or NSTEMI who were selected from the Polish Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes using propensity score matching (two equal size groups).
resultsPatients with STEMI were more likely to undergo coronary angiography (87.80% vs. 77,03%) and revascularization (80.50% vs. 54.26%); in STEMI the culprit lesion was more likely to be located in left anterior descending artery (LAD) (31.76% vs. 44.43%) or right coronary artery (RCA) (18.41% vs. 35.29%), and NSTEMI more likely to be located in left main (4.59% vs. 1.76%) or other native artery (23.3% vs. 6.02%). Elderly patients with STEMI had higher all-cause mortality at 30-days (19.62% vs. 14.51%) and 1-year (32.00% vs. 29.54%). The difference was highly influenced by initial in-hospital mortality (17.96% vs. 12.48%). Among hospital survivors there was no difference in 30-days mortality and 1-year mortality was higher for NSTEMI hospital survivors (17.06% vs. 14.04%).
conclusionsIn patients older than 80 years of age with similar baseline characteristics, STEMI and NSTEMI had different presentation, outcomes and required different treatment strategy. ST-elevation patients had higher in-hospital mortality and NSTEMI patients had higher post-hospital mortality after 1 year.
