[Determinants of healthcare-seeking delay in women with acute coronary syndrome].
Article in Atencion primaria, 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
objectiveTo identify the factors associated with delays in seeking healthcare among women with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).
designObservational, cross-sectional and single-center study.
settingHospital setting (Acute Cardiac Care Unit of a tertiary hospital).
participantsConsecutive selection of women admitted for and surviving an ACS over a one-year period; 80 participants were ultimately included. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Sociodemographic, cardiovascular risk, clinical, contextual, cognitive, knowledge, behavioural, and gender role variables were analysed. Factors associated with a decision time (DT) >120minutes were identified using Poisson regression with robust variance, calculating adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), adjusted for age.
resultsThe median DT was 120minutes (IQR: 54-583). The lack of perceived severity was the main factor associated with delay (aPR=3.62; 95% CI: 1.80-7.29; p <0.001). Residing outside the urban area was also associated with a longer DT (aPR=1.51; 95% CI: 1.06-2.15; p=0.021). A history of anxiety-depressive syndrome showed a borderline trend toward delay (aPR=1.39; 95% CI: 0.99-1.95; p=0.053), whereas presenting with dizziness/instability was associated with a lower prevalence of delay (aPR=0.31; 95% CI: 0.10-0.97; p=0.044).
conclusionsDelays in seeking healthcare among women with ACS are associated with sociodemographic, clinical, and, fundamentally, cognitive factors. Integrating these findings into the design of community-based strategies and interventions is a priority to reduce response times and improve women's cardiovascular health.
