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 age-related differences in coronary artery lesions, lesion characteristics, and short-term prognosis in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 198 ACS patients (February 2019-January 2024). Patients were grouped by age: < 40 years (low-age), 40-60 years (middle-age), and > 60 years (high-age). We compared clinical data, coronary angiography results, lesion characteristics, and short-term major adverse cardiac event (MACE) occurrence across the groups. Pearson or Spearman correlation was used to assess relationships, and ROC curves were employed to evaluate the predictive ability for MACE.

resultsThe high-age group had significantly higher Gensini scoring and Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) scores (both P < 0.001), more diseased branches, and a higher proportion of non-calcified plaques. MACE incidence was highest in the high-age group. Age correlated positively with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, triglycerides, Gensini score, GRACE score, and the number of diseased branches, and negatively with hemoglobin levels (all P < 0.05). Age showed the strongest predictive ability for short-term MACE (AUC: 0.673, sensitivity: 71.0%).

conclusionElderly ACS patients exhibit more severe coronary lesions and a higher incidence of MACE. Age is a significant predictor of short-term MACE and correlates with various clinical and angiographic indicators.
