Do women with acute myocardial infarction receive the same treatment as men?
Article in BMJ (Clinical research ed.), 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 papers.
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 determine whether women with acute myocardial infarction in the Nottingham health district receive the same therapeutic interventions as their male counterparts.
designRetrospective study.
settingUniversity and City Hospitals, Nottingham. PATIENTS: All patients admitted with a suspected myocardial infarction during 1989 and 1990.
main outcome measuresRoute and timing of admission to hospital, ward of admission, treatment, interventions in hospital, and mortality.
resultsWomen with myocardial infarction took longer to arrive in hospital than men. They were less likely to be admitted to the coronary care unit and were therefore also less likely to receive thrombolytic treatment. They seemed to have more severe infarcts, with higher Killip classes, and had a slightly higher mortality during admission. They were less likely than men to receive secondary prophylaxis by being discharged taking beta blockers or aspirin.
conclusionsSurvival chances both in hospital and after discharge in women with acute myocardial infarction are reduced because they do not have the same opportunity for therapeutic intervention as men.
