  Figure 2. Meta-regression for the efficacy of ED compared to OD on the incidence of revascularization versus prevalence of NSTEMI or UAP Notes: The size of the circles is an indicator of the size of the trial. Data adapted from references 4, 13–16, 18, 20, 21, and 23. Abbreviations: ED, early discharge; OD, ordinary discharge; NSTEMI, non-ST elevation myocardial infarction; UAP, unstable angina pectoris; RR, relative risk.
