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

objectiveTo investigate the association between age and body mass index (BMI) and mortality in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Methods We divided 6453 patients into three age groups (<60, 60-75, >75 years) and five BMI categories. Thirty-day and long-term all-cause mortality were assessed.

resultsNo association was found between the BMI category and 30-day mortality in any age group. The association between BMI and long-term multivariable-adjusted mortality risk was age-dependent. Overweight patients had a lower risk than patients with BMI <25 kg/m

conclusionOur results suggest that moderate weight gain with age improves long-term survival after MI and that the magnitude of this "protective" weight gain is greater in older compared to younger patients. However, excessive weight gain (obesity grade III) is particularly harmful in the oldest age group. The exact relationship between BMI, age, and mortality remains unclear.
