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 explore the relationship between Anion Gap (AG), Albumin Corrected AG (ACAG), and in-hospital mortality of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) patients and develop a prediction model for predicting the mortality in AMI patients.

methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study based on the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-Ⅲ, MIMIC-IV, and eICU Collaborative Study Database (eICU). A total of 9767 AMI patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit were included. The authors employed univariate and multivariable cox proportional hazards analyses to investigate the association between AG, ACAG, and in-hospital mortality; p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. A nomogram incorporating ACAG and clinical indicators was developed and validated for predicting mortality among AMI patients.

resultsBoth ACAG and AG exhibited a significant association with an elevated risk of in-hospital mortality in AMI patients. The C-index of ACAG (C-index = 0.606) was significantly higher than AG (C-index = 0.589). A nomogram (ACAG combined model) was developed to predict the in-hospital mortality for AMI patients. The nomogram demonstrated a good predictive performance by Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.763 in the training set, 0.744 and 0.681 in the external validation cohort. The C-index of the nomogram was 0.759 in the training set, 0.756 and 0.762 in the validation cohorts. Additionally, the C-index of the nomogram was obviously higher than the ACAG and age shock index in three databases.

conclusionACAG was related to in-hospital mortality among AMI patients. The authors developed a nomogram incorporating ACAG and clinical indicators, demonstrating good performance for predicting in-hospital mortality of AMI patients.
