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

backgroundThe objective of this study was to evaluate adherence to guideline-recommended cardiac secondary prevention therapies by immigration and ethnicity.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective substudy of the

resultsThe dataset included outcome data on 1049 (64%) Canadian-born patients and 593 (36%) immigrants. There were 347 (21%) who identified as a visual minority. We report a nonsignificant trend in statin adherence 1 year after MI favouring foreign-born participants compared with Canadian-born participants (odds ratio [OR], 1.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.91-1.68). Visual minorities were found to have no significant difference in statin adherence 1 year after MI compared with participants of European ethnicity (OR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.72-1.51). Neither immigration status (OR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.72-1.15) nor visual minority status (OR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.73-1.28) were associated with cardiac rehabilitation completion.

conclusionsOur findings offer limited support that immigrants with > 10 years of Canadian residency exposure experience greater adherence to statins 1 year after MI. Further research is required to better inform our understanding of secondary prevention strategy among immigrant populations.
