The association of mean platelet volume to lymphocyte ratio and noreflow in patients with myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention

TL;DR: The coronary artery involvement is a troublesome event because of the established heart risk factors, and sometimes treating it with PCI could be complicated due to no-reflow, so simple predictors (i.e., MPV to lymphocyte ratio) could help reduce morbidity and mortality.

Impact of extended dual antiplatelet therapy on long-term prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome complicated with anemia: A sub-analysis of the real-world OPT-CAD study.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the impact of extended dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) beyond 12 months on long-term prognosis in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients complicated with anemia undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) for Assessing the Quality of Nonrandomised Studies in Meta-Analyses

TL;DR: The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) as discussed by the authors was developed to assess the quality of nonrandomised studies with its design, content and ease of use directed to the task of incorporating the quality assessments in the interpretation of meta-analytic results.

Trim and fill: A simple funnel-plot-based method of testing and adjusting for publication bias in meta-analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, a rank-based data augmentation technique is proposed for estimating the number of missing studies that might exist in a meta-analysis and the effect that these studies might have had on its outcome.
