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: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a severe cardiovascular condition that can lead to acute myocardial infarction (AMI), resulting in significant morbidity and elevated mortality rates. Objective: This study aimed to examine complications arising from ACS in patients admitted to a tertiary hospital and identify the influencing factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between February and December 2021 among patients diagnosed with ACS at the tertiary hospital in Northeastern Thailand. The sample included 133 participants hospitalized for ACS. Simple random sampling was employed, with data collected from the patient registry by selecting 15 individuals at a time until the target of 1,998 patients was reached. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Chi-Square test, Fisher's exact test, and binary logistic regression to identify significant predictors of complications in this population. Results: Factors influencing the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) included cardiac function and the need for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-IV had a significantly higher risk of MACE compared to those with NYHA class I ( Conclusions: This study demonstrated that cardiac function and the necessity for CPR significantly influence the development of MACE in patients with ACS. These findings highlight the importance of thorough evaluation and monitoring by healthcare teams during hospitalization, particularly for patients with abnormal cardiac function or a history of CPR. Prompt identification and targeted interventions for high-risk individuals can improve outcomes and reduce complications. Nurses should prioritize follow-up evaluations for ACS patients with NYHA class II-IV or those who have undergone CPR, as these individuals are at elevated risk for developing MACE.
