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

Data on 13 baseline characteristics of 618 patients who had previously had a myocardial infarction and who had entered the Ontario Exercise-Heart Collaborative Study were analysed for their ability to predict recurrence of infarction within 3 years. These characteristics were age, serum levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, number of hours of competitive sports per week, number of hours of jogging per week, angina, type of occupation, smoking, cough and phlegm production, personality type and the number of previous infarctions. The characteristics showing independent statistical significance (p less than 0.05) were smoking and blue-collar occupation, with estimated adjusted relative odds of 2.3 and 2.1 respectively.
