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

Aims: This study aimed to confirm the correlation between lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) combined with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University and included 399 patients who were diagnosed with AMI combined with HFpEF and who were hospitalised and underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment between January 1, 2018, and January 1, 2023. Based on Lp(a) levels, patients were divided into three tertiles: T1 (≤356 mg/L), T2 [356 mg/L < Lp(a) ≤ 487 mg/L], and T3 (>487 mg/L). The study employed univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis, subgroup analysis, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to evaluate the correlation between Lp(a) and MACE. Results: Compared to the non-MACE group, the MACE group had higher levels of Lp(a) ( Conclusions: In patients with AMI combined with HFpEF, elevated Lp(a) levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of MACE, and this association remained consistent across multiple subgroups.
