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

backgroundIn the SELECT (Semaglutide Effects on Cardiovascular Outcomes in People with Overweight or Obesity) trial, treatment with semaglutide reduced the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with cardiovascular disease, overweight or obesity, and no diabetes.

objectivesThe purpose of this study was to estimate cardiovascular risk in first-time myocardial infarction (MI) patients meeting the SELECT-eligibility criteria and the preventive potential for treatment with semaglutide.

methodsWe conducted an observational cohort study applying the SELECT trial's inclusion and exclusion criteria to patients with first-time MI recorded between 2010 and 2021 in the Western Denmark Heart Registry. Five-year incidence of second MI, MACE, and all-cause death was estimated for SELECT-eligible patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥27 kg/m

resultsIn 21,777 first-time MI patients without diabetes, 10,768 patients were SELECT-eligible with BMI ≥27 kg/m

conclusionsIn SELECT-eligible first-time MI patients with overweight or obesity and no diabetes, the cardiovascular risk was substantial with 1 in 10 having a MACE event within 5 years after first-time MI. Based on the SELECT trial results, semaglutide may markedly postpone MACE incidence in these patients.
