Myocardial Infarction Quality of Care and Outcomes in Asian Ethnic Groups in the United States.
Article in Circulation. Cardiovascular quality and outcomes, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
backgroundNational-level differences in myocardial infarction (MI) quality of care among Asian patients in the United States are unclear. We assessed the quality of MI care in the 6 largest US Asian ethnic groups.
methodsPatients aged ≥18 years with ST-segment-elevation MI or non-ST-segment-elevation MI in the Get With The Guidelines-Coronary Artery Disease registry (711 US hospitals, 2015-2021) were assessed. The odds of MI-related quality of care and process outcomes were evaluated in Asian Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and other Asian adults compared with non-Hispanic White adults. Sex-stratified logistic regression models were adjusted for age and clinical characteristics.
resultsThere were 5691 Asian patients (1520 Asian Indian, 422 Chinese, 430 Filipino, 114 Japanese, 283 Korean, 553 Vietnamese, and 2369 other Asian) and 141 271 non-Hispanic White patients, overall 30% female, and mean age of 66.5 years. Relative to non-Hispanic White adults, among patients with ST-segment-elevation MI, door-to-ECG time ≤10 minutes was less likely in Asian Indian (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.64 [95% CI, 0.50-0.82]), Chinese (aOR, 0.65 [95% CI, 0.46-0.93]), and Korean (aOR, 0.57 [95% CI, 0.33-0.97]) men and in other Asian women (aOR, 0.61 [95% CI, 0.41-0.90]). Door-to-balloon time ≤90 minutes was less likely in Asian Indian men (aOR, 0.71 [95% CI, 0.56-0.90]) and Filipina women (aOR, 0.48 [95% CI, 0.24-0.98]). In patients with ST-segment-elevation MI or non-ST-segment-elevation MI, optimal medical therapy for MI was less likely in Korean men (aOR, 0.65 [95% CI, 0.47-0.90]) and more likely in Asian Indian men (aOR, 1.22 [95% CI, 1.06-1.40]) and women (aOR, 1.32 [95% CI, 1.04-1.67]) and Filipina women (aOR, 1.84 [95% CI, 1.27-2.67]).
conclusionsMI quality of care varies among US Asian patients with ST-segment-elevation MI and non-ST-segment-elevation MI. Quality improvement programs must identify and address the factors that result in suboptimal MI quality of care among US Asian patients.
