When gender matters: inequalities in health services utilization and risk factors monitoring after acute myocardial infarction.

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
Introduction: Secondary prevention after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has the objective of improving quality of life, minimizing recurrence, and reducing morbidity and mortality. Despite European guidelines highlighting the importance of cardiovascular risk factor (CVRF) management and optimal healthcare utilization, inequalities persist, particularly between genders. This study aims to identify and analyze gender inequalities in healthcare utilization and CVRF monitoring during the first year after AMI using real-world data (RWD). Methods: An analytical study was conducted within the CARhES (CArdiovascular Risk factors for Health Services research) cohort in Aragon, Spain. The study population included 3,464 subjects who survived a first AMI and were followed for one full year after the event. Sociodemographic, anthropometric, clinical data, healthcare utilization, CVRF monitoring and pharmacological prescriptions, were extracted from the Aragon Health Service. Statistical analyses included chi-squared tests, Student's Results: Women represented 28.3% of the study population. Compared with men, they were older and had a higher morbidity burden. Primary care utilization was similar between genders; however, women had fewer cardiology visits ( Conclusions: Gender inequalities are still present in post-AMI care and CVRF management, with women being more likely to receive less adequate treatment and management. Addressing these inequalities is crucial to ensuring equitable care and improving health outcomes for women.
