Post-myocardial Infarction Prognostic Factors and Mortality in the Gulf Region: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Current cardiology reviews, 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
introductionCardiovascular disease is a leading cause of mortality in the Gulf region, with acute Myocardial Infarction (MI) being a critical contributor due to prevalent comorbidities, including diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate the prognostic factors impacting post-MI outcomes.
methodsThis study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify risk factors influencing Myocardial Infarction (MI) outcomes in Saudi Arabia and Gulf countries. A comprehensive search of major databases between 2013 and 2024 included studies examining demographic and clinical predictors such as age, gender, and comorbidities. Eligible studies were screened following PRISMA guidelines. Adjusted odds ratios for mortality were pooled, and heterogeneity was assessed through Q and I² statistics. Bias and publication bias were evaluated using ROBINS-I and funnel plots, respectively. Analyses were performed to provide regionspecific insights into MI prognosis and outcome predictors.
resultsThe findings reveal that gender, age, comorbidities, and biomarkers significantly influence mortality risks. Women presented higher mortality rates than men, attributed to older age and a heavier comorbidity burden. Ventricular arrhythmias and recurrent MI emerged as predictors of adverse in-hospital outcomes, including heart failure and cardiogenic shock. The pooled odds ratio for short-term mortality indicated over three times the mortality risk following MI, although long-term mortality findings lacked statistical significance. DISCUSSION: The findings highlight the combined impact of demographic and clinical factors on MI outcomes in the Gulf region. The gender disparity reflects both biological and systemic influences.
conclusionTailored interventions, improved risk stratification, and targeted management strategies are needed to address the high-risk profiles and outcome disparities in Gulf MI patients.
