A Narrative Review of the Management of Type 2 Myocardial Infarction and Myocardial Injury in Medical Patients in the UK.
Review in Cureus, 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
Type 2 myocardial infarction (T2MI) is defined as myocardial injury occurring due to an imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand rather than acute atherothrombotic plaque rupture. It is frequently encountered in acutely unwell medical patients and is associated with adverse short- and long-term outcomes, including increased inpatient, 30-day, and one-year mortality. Diagnosis and management remain challenging due to heterogeneous clinical presentations, frequent coexistence with systemic illness, and overlap with acute non-ischaemic myocardial injury. In the UK, there is currently no national guidance specific to T2MI, resulting in variability in diagnostic approaches and management strategies, with clinicians often extrapolating from acute coronary syndrome pathways and international consensus statements. This narrative review synthesises contemporary evidence from observational studies, guideline documents, and expert consensus to discuss the pathophysiology, diagnosis, investigation, and management of T2MI in medical inpatients, highlighting key uncertainties and areas requiring future research.
