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: Ethnic disparities in cardiovascular health are well recognized worldwide, including in Israel, where Jewish and Arab populations differ in cardiovascular risk profiles and life expectancy. However, data regarding outcomes among critically ill cardiac patients treated in the standardized environment of an intensive cardiac care unit (ICCU) remain limited. This study compared demographic characteristics, comorbidities, clinical presentation, and outcomes between Arab and Jewish patients admitted to a tertiary ICCU. Methods: We conducted a prospective single-center cohort study including all consecutive patients admitted to the ICCU between July 2019 and December 2025. Patients were stratified by ethnicity (Jewish vs. Arab). The primary endpoint was long-term all-cause mortality. Multivariable Cox regression analysis adjusted for baseline characteristics and index diagnosis. Results: The cohort included 7,026 patients: 5,615 (79.9%) Jewish and 1,411 (20.1%) Arab. Arab patients were approximately 10 years younger [59.5 (SD 14.9) vs. 69.5 (SD 15.7) years; Conclusions: Despite being younger, Arab patients had a higher burden of cardiovascular risk factors and a 31% increased risk of long-term mortality, highlighting the need for intensified primary and secondary prevention and cardiovascular risk reduction strategies.
