Early outpatient follow-up, hospital-free survival, and health-related quality of life in older adults after hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction.

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
Current evidence regarding the benefits of early outpatient follow-up for older adults after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is conflicting, and prior studies may have been impacted by confounding by indication by not accounting for geriatric vulnerabilities. We used data from a unique nationwide cohort of older adults hospitalized with AMI, linked to Medicare data, that captured rich data on geriatric vulnerabilities and other potentially influential covariates. We used inverse-probability of treatment-weighted analyses to evaluate associations of early outpatient follow-up with hospital-free survival and physical and health-related quality of life 180 days post-discharge. More than two-fifths of the 1539 participants had a follow-up visit within 7 days, and one quarter had a follow-up visit within 8-14 days. Geriatric vulnerabilities were not more prevalent among participants receiving early outpatient follow-up, and early outpatient follow-up was not associated with differences in hospital-free survival or risk of decline in health-related quality of life.
