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.

Abstract

backgroundIncidence and prognostic of unstable angina after high-sensitivity troponin assesment is controversial.

aimsThis study evaluated prognostic of a contemporary population of patients with UA defined using high sensitive T troponin (T hs-cTn) measurements and with significant coronary artery disease (CAD).

methodsConsecutive patients admitted in 2 French university centres with UA defined as clinical ischemic symptoms and T hs-cTn dosages undetectable (< 5 ng/L), non-elevated (> 14 ng/L) or mildly elevated (14-50 ng/L) were included. The primary end-point included major events at 1-year follow-up.

resultsAmong 1752 patients admitted for ACS between December 2021 and February 2023, 210 (12.0%) have UA and significant CAD. Mean age was 66 ± 12 years, with predominantly men (n = 143; 68.1%). Patients had undetectable (n = 4), non-elevated (n = 80) or mildly elevated and stable T hs-cTn (n = 126). History of CAD was found in 98 patients (46.6%). Percutaneous intervention was required in main patients (n = 186; 88.6%). Adverse non-fatal in-hospital event occurred in one patient. The primary outcome was achieved in 55 patients (26.2%; CI 95% [20.2-32.1]) mainly related to new ACS (n = 34, 16.2%). The level of troponin at admission (p = 0.639) was not associated with the primary outcome. In multivariate analysis, multiple risk factors (OR 1.93, [1.01-3.69], p = 0.0194), history of CAD (3.09; CI [1.63; 5.87], p = 0.0005), and tritroncular disease (OR 2.66; CI [1.24; 5.69], p = 0.0118) were significantly associated with major events at 1-year.

conclusionContemporary incidence of UA with significant CAD is low with few in-hospital events, but with a 1-year incidence of cardiac events high (26%), mainly related to new ACS. Improving secondary prevention may be crucial for these patients. (ID: NCT06378333).
