Racial Differences in Outcomes After Perioperative Myocardial Infarction: A Multicenter Analysis of Noncardiac Surgical Patients.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 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
backgroundPerioperative myocardial infarction (PMI) is a common cardiovascular complication following noncardiac surgery and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. However, data on racial disparities in outcomes remain limited. This study evaluates racial differences and complications among patients who experience PMI following moderate- to high-risk noncardiac surgery.
methodsWe analyzed the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database for patients who underwent moderate- to high-risk noncardiac surgeries between 2010 and 2020. Demographic and clinical variables were compared across racial groups. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the impact of race on 30-day mortality and postoperative complications after adjusting for preoperative comorbidities and perioperative risk factors.
resultsAmong 23,273 patients with PMI, the overall 30-day mortality rate was approximately 20% and did not differ significantly by race (P = .33). After adjustment for other covariables, Black race was independently associated with higher odds of acute renal failure (OR: 1.511; CI: 1.277-1.789; P < .0001), prolonged postoperative mechanical ventilation for > 48 h (OR: 1.312; CI: 1.169-1.471; P < .0001), pulmonary embolism (OR: 1.659; CI: 1.322-2.081; P < .0001), cardiac arrest requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (OR: 1.428; CI: 1.252-1.629; P < .0001), and return to the operating room (OR: 1.228; 95% CI: 1.097-1.374; P = .0017). Black patients also experienced longer hospital stays (IRR: 1.087; 95% CI: 1.027-1.151; P < .0001).
conclusionWhile 30-day mortality following PMI did not differ by race, Black patients experienced increased postoperative morbidities. These findings underscore the need for targeted perioperative interventions to mitigate racial disparities in postoperative outcomes.
