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: Survivors of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) struggle with stressful consequences. Sense of coherence (SOC) seems to be associated with a person's capacity to face life incidents. This study aims to evaluate SOC's correlation with the major adverse cardiac events (MACE) among the AMI survivors. The study was designed and reported following the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines and checklist. Methods: This study was part of the ST-elevated myocardial infarction cohort study in Isfahan (SEMI-CI) conducted on 724 AMI survivors followed for 2 years. The patients' demographics, medical history, and follow-up manifestations were recruited. The 13-item SOC questionnaire was utilized to evaluate the patients' SOC, and the Diagnostic Criteria for Psychosomatic Research (DCPR) questionnaire was used for psychosomatic disorder evaluation, including health anxiety, illness denial, irritable mood, and demoralization. MACE defined as non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), non-fatal stroke, and atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)-related death was recorded. Results: Logistic regression assessments showed that the SOC level was an independent predictor for the development of MACE (OR: 0.67; 95%CI: 0.40-0.85). This finding was confirmed by the controlling factors, including demographic data (OR: 0.60; 95%CI: 0.35-0.79), demographic factors and medical history (OR: 0.62; 95%CI: 0.36-0.86), the previous ones plus clinical follow-up assessments (OR: 0.59; 95%CI: 0.33-0.79), and all the evaluations plus psychosomatic factors (OR: 0.76; 95%CI: 0.42-0.92). Similar outcomes were achieved using SOC scores. Conclusions: Based on this study, SOC was an independent MACE predictor in a large population of AMI patients through a 2-year follow-up period.
