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

backgroundSymptom burden and disease effects following myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) are not well studied. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of angina pectoris, sick leave, and quality-of-life levels 1 year after the index event, using patients with myocardial infarction due to obstructive coronary artery disease (MI-CAD) as controls. METHODS AND

resultsPatients with first-time myocardial infarction, assessed by coronary angiography and registered in the SWEDEHEART (Swedish Web-System for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-Based Care in Heart Disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies) registry 2005 to 2022 were eligible and included if attending the 1-year follow-up. Patients with previous coronary intervention, heart failure, arrhythmia at admission, and not fully revascularized MI-CAD were excluded. Outcomes were prospectively collected during standard care. A total of 46 428 patients (mean age, 62 years; 71% men; MINOCA, n=5281/MI-CAD, n=41 157) were assessed after 1 year. Angina prevalence was 11.6% in MINOCA and 8.8% in fully revascularized MI-CAD (crude risk ratio, 1.32 [95% CI, 1.21-1.47]; odds ratio, 1.18 [95% CI, 1.07-1.30], adjusted for potential confounders). Patients with MINOCA had a higher degree of sick leave than patients with MI-CAD both at index care and at 1 year (8.0% versus 5.6% and 13.4% versus 10.9%, respectively; both

conclusionsPatients with MINOCA have significant distress, with higher levels of angina pectoris and sick leave and worse quality of life at 1 year compared with fully revascularized MI-CAD counterparts.
