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

backgroundGRACE and SYNTAX scores are important tools to assess prognosis in non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). However, there have been few studies on their value in patients receiving different types of therapies.

aimTo explore the value of GRACE and SYNTAX scores in predicting the prognosis of patients with NSTE-ACS receiving different types of therapies.

methodsThe data of 386 patients with NSTE-ACS were retrospectively analyzed and categorized into different groups. A total of 195 patients who received agents alone comprised the medication group, 156 who received medical therapy combined with stents comprised the stent group, and 35 patients who were given agents and underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) comprised the CABG group. General information was compared among the three groups. GRACE and SYNTAX scores were calculated. The association between the relationship between GRACE and SYNTAX scores and the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) was analyzed. Pearson's correlation analysis was used to determine the factors influencing prognosis in patients with NSTE-ACS. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to analyze the predictive value of GRACE and SYNTAX scores for predicting prognosis in patients with NSTE-ACS using the Cox proportional-hazards model.

resultsThe incidence of MACE increased with the elevation of GRACE and SYNTAX scores (all

conclusionGRACE and SYNTAX scores are of great value for evaluating the prognosis of NSTE-ACS patients, and prevention and early intervention strategies should be used in clinical practice targeting different risk scores.
