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

Ischaemic preconditioning is one of the mechanisms by which human myocardium and human life are protected from ischaemic insults. One of the clinical situations in which we can discuss preconditioning is repetitive coronary occlusions by balloon inflation during elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) for stable angina pectoris. The severity of myocardial ischaemia assessed by ST-segment elevation or chest pain is less during the second balloon inflation compared with the first, if the duration of the first coronary occlusion is sufficient to precondition the myocardium. Many drugs have been identified that produce a reduction or induction in indices of preconditioning during PTCA. Preconditioning-mimetic drugs include adenosine, bradykinin, nitroglycerin and nicorandil. It is of paramount importance that we investigate and develop preconditioning-mimetic drugs which may enable an increased tolerance to effort angina, limit infarction size in susceptible patients, and decrease the incidence of sudden cardiac death as a result of ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
