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

aimsStress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) and glycemic variability (GV) are established markers of glucose metabolism dysregulation. This study compared their predictive values for mortality and arrhythmic events in patients with reduced ejection fraction following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). MATERIALS AND

methodsWe analyzed 1933 AMI patients with reduced ejection fraction from the MIMIC-IV database (v3.1, 2008-2022). The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality, with secondary endpoints including 1-year all-cause mortality, ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF), and cardiac arrest. Multivariate logistic regression models evaluated associations with in-hospital outcomes, while Cox proportional hazards models assessed 1-year mortality. Restricted cubic spline models examined non-linear relationships between SHR and outcomes, with discriminative ability compared using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) analysis.

resultsAmong patients (mean age 67.3 years), 401 (20.7%) died during hospitalization and 662 (34.2%) within one year. After adjustment, SHR showed the strongest association with in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR]: 1.51, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.24-1.82) compared to GV (OR: 1.00, 95% CI: 0.99-1.01). For 1-year mortality, SHR maintained superior performance (hazard ratio: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.19-1.65), with the highest tertile significantly associated with increased risk. ROC analysis confirmed SHR's superior predictive capacity for both mortality endpoints and VT/VF, while none of the indices significantly predicted cardiac arrest. SHR's predictive value was more pronounced in non-diabetic patients.

conclusionsIn post-AMI patients with reduced ejection fraction, SHR demonstrated superior predictive value for mortality compared to GV, supporting its incorporation into risk stratification models for individualized glucose management.
