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

Background: Fluid management is crucial in the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS), yet the optimal strategy remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the association between fluid balance (FB) trajectories and prognosis in AMI-CS patients. Methods: This study utilized data from the MIMIC-IV database, including patients diagnosed with AMI-CS. A Group-Based Trajectory Model (GBTM) was applied to identify patient groups with similar FB trends. The association between different FB trajectories and patient survival was assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression models. Additionally, subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted to validate the robustness of the results. Results: A total of 533 AMI-CS patients were included. The 4-group trajectory model showed good fit (AIC = 19,937.75; minimum AvePP = 0.81). Four FB trajectory patterns were identified: trajectory 1 (stable negative balance), trajectory 2 (rapid decline to negative balance), trajectory 3 (persistent positive balance), and trajectory 4 (high-level decreasing). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that patients in trajectories 1 and 2 had higher survival rates, while those in the fluid overload group had a significantly higher risk of death compared to the non-overload group. Cox regression analysis further demonstrated that, compared to trajectory 2, trajectory 3 was associated with a significantly increased mortality risk, while trajectory 1 showed no statistically significant difference. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were consistent, confirming the robustness of the study findings. Conclusion: Among the dynamic FB patterns in AMI-CS patients, stable negative balance or rapid transition to negative balance is associated with the best prognosis. The GBTM approach helps identify different risk strata within the AMI-CS patient population.
