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

backgroundST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a critical form of acute coronary syndrome associated with high morbidity and mortality. Inflammation and stress-induced hyperglycemia play significant roles in its pathophysiology. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of inflammatory and glycemic markers for in-hospital mortality in STEMI patients.

methodsA total of 119 patients diagnosed with STEMI were included in the study. Demographic characteristics, laboratory parameters, inflammatory and glycemic indices of the patients were recorded. The relationship between in-hospital mortality and the variables was assessed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. The prognostic performances of the indices were evaluated using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.

resultsA total of 119 patients (mean age 63.1 ± 1.2 years; 77.3% male) were included. In-hospital mortality occurred in 11.8% of patients. Deceased patients had significantly higher leukocyte and neutrophil counts, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, glucose, leukoglycemic index (LGI), neutrophil glycemic index (NGI), neutrophil lymphocyte glycemic index (NLGI), urea, and creatinine levels, and lower hemoglobin levels. Multivariate logistic regression identified glucose, LGI, NGI, and NLGI as independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. NGI showed the highest area under the ROC curve (AUC: 0.790, 95% CI: 0.664–0.917).

conclusionGlycemic indices are independent predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients with STEMI. NGI reflects both the inflammatory response, represented by neutrophils, and glycemic stress, thus showing higher prognostic performance than other indices in the acute phase of STEMI. These findings suggest that NGI may serve as a practical and effective biomarker for risk stratification in STEMI.
