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

Background Real-world data on low baseline low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and long-term postdischarge cardiovascular outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome are limited. Methods and Results Of the 10 719 patients enrolled in the Korean registry of acute myocardial infarction between January 2004 and August 2014, we identified 5532 patients who were event free from death, recurrent myocardial infarction, or stroke during the in-hospital period after successful percutaneous coronary intervention. The co-primary outcomes were 3-point major adverse cardiovascular events (a composite of nonfatal stroke, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular death) and cardiovascular death at 5 years. Of 5532 patients with acute myocardial infarction (mean age, 62.1±12.8 years; 75.0% men), 446 cardiovascular deaths (8.1%) and 695 three-point major adverse cardiovascular events (12.6%) occurred at 5 years. In the continuous analysis of LDL-C, the risk of cardiovascular events increased steeply as LDL-C levels decreased from 100 mg/dL. For categorical analysis of LDL-C (<70, 70-99, and ≥100 mg/dL), as LDL-C levels decreased, clinical outcomes worsened (237/3759 [6.3%] in LDL-C ≥100 mg/dL versus 123/1291 [9.5%] in LDL-C 70-99 mg/dL versus 86/482 [17.8%] in LDL-C <70 mg/dL for cardiovascular death;
