Door-to-Balloon Delays with PCI in Acute Myocardial Infarction.

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.
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
In the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the length of time from symptom onset to revascularization is a crucial determinant of clinical outcomes such as mortality and reinfarction. Direct, or primary, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) produces higher rates of infarct-related artery patency and improved clinical outcomes compared to thrombolytic therapy. However, primary PTCA is associated with an increased time interval from hospital arrival to revascularization, the so-called door-to-balloon time. Numerous data support the theory that increased door-to-balloon time reduces the benefits of primary PTCA in the treatment of AMI. Therefore, institutions that offer PTCA must strive to decrease door-to-balloon delays through the use of established treatment protocols and frequent assessment of performance.
