Clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of elderly patients with coronary artery disease.

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
Objective: We investigated the clinical characteristics of elderly patients with CAD, analyzed 1-year prognostic factors, and evaluated the predictive value of the Optimal Antiplatelet Therapy for Chinese patients with Coronary Artery Disease (OPT-CAD) score in their long-term prognosis. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 4,836 patients with coronary artery stenosis of 50% or greater aged ≥60 years were included to compare differences in clinical characteristics between the non-elderly group ( Results: Elderly patients exhibited lower male prevalence, lipid levels, and BMI but more extensive and severe coronary lesions. Among elderly patients, 10.3% ( Conclusion: In elderly patients (≥75 years old), cardiovascular risk factors such as male sex, smoking, lipid profile, and BMI were reduced and could be used to predict ischemic event risk in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome. Anemia, LM lesion, multivessel coronary artery disease, and low ejection fraction (LVEF < 50%) were independent risk factors for adverse events in elderly patients 1 year after discharge.
