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

objectivesTo assess the impact of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) on quality of life (QoL) among patients at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Western Jeddah. Acute Coronary Syndrome significantly affect patients' QoL. Many individuals experience challenges post-ACS. While previous research has identified baseline QoL, access to specialized care, and assessment tools as important factors influencing recovery, limited studies have examined how baseline QoL affects long-term outcomes.

methodsThis hybrid cross-sectional study included ACS patients treated at King Abdulaziz Medical City. A sample size of 268 was calculated using RAOSOFT. A culturally tailored questionnaire, derived from the SF-36, was developed, validated, and administered through phone interviews. Data was analyzed using SPSS, applying descriptive statistics. Statistical significance was set at

resultsA total of 311 patients participated. The mean QoL score was 9.7 (±3.4). Age was found to be a statistically significant predictor of QoL classification (

conclusionThe ACS negatively affects social participation, religious practices, fasting during Ramadan, and willingness to return to work. Higher age was associated with better improvement in QoL after ACS. Additionally, we found a weak but significant invers correlation between age and QoL, and longer time since diagnosis and QoL.
