Prognostic impact of infection in octogenarians with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

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
purposeContemporary studies assessing outcomes in octogenarian patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and infection are scarce. This study investigated the impact and prognostic value of infection on long-term mortality in octogenarian patients with STEMI.
methodsA total of 1564 patients admitted with STEMI between May 2015 and September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, and 110 octogenarians were identified and included. Predictors of mortality were determined by multivariate Cox regression analysis. Survival curves were generated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 85 ± 4 years, and 58 (52%) were male. Median follow-up was 41 months. Patients with infection had higher rates of in-hospital (16.4% vs. 8.2%, p = 0.001) and long-term (33.6% vs. 20%, p = 0.001) mortality. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that infection (HR 3.16; 95% CI 1.52-6.59; p = 0.002) and C-reactive protein levels (HR 0.99; 95% CI 0.98-1.00; p = 0.042) were independent predictors of mortality in patients with infection. Kaplan-Meier analysis also showed that patients with infection had a significantly higher mortality rate (p < 0.001).
conclusionInfection is an independent predictor of long-term mortality in octogenarian patients with STEMI.
