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

Cardiogenic shock (CS) following myocardial infarction remains highly fatal. The prognostic value of dynamic metabolic markers-particularly glucose and cortisol-remains incompletely understood. In this prospective cohort study, 41 patients with infarction-related CS underwent serial blood sampling over 96 h. Plasma glucose and serum cortisol levels were measured repeatedly. Primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality. Admission glucose levels stratified as < 10, 10-15, and > 15 mmol/L were associated with rising mortality (36.4%, 43.8%, 50.0%; p = 0.47). Mortality was higher in patients without known diabetes. Early glucose normalization (≤ 6 h) correlated with improved survival (25% vs. 45%; p < 0.05). Cortisol levels were markedly elevated on admission. Survivors showed rapid decline; non-survivors had persistently high levels. Cumulative cortisol exposure (AUC₀-₉₆) was significantly lower in survivors (p = 0.016). Serial metabolic profiling identified early and sustained hyperglycaemia and hypercortisolaemia as independent predictors of mortality in infarction-related CS and potential targets for intervention.
