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

backgroundBone marrow stem cell (BMC) transfer is an emerging therapy with potential to salvage cardiomyocytes during acute myocardial infarction and promote regeneration and endogenous repair of damaged myocardium in patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. We performed a meta-analysis to examine the association between administration of BMC and LV functional recovery as assessed by imaging. METHODS AND

resultsOur meta-analysis included data from 32 trials comprising information on 1,300 patients in the treatment arm and 1,006 patients in the control arm. Overall, BMC therapy was associated with a significant increase in LV ejection fraction by 4.6% ± 0.7% (P < .001) (control-adjusted increase of 2.8% ± 0.9%, P = .001), and a significant decrease in perfusion defect size by 9.5% ± 1.4% (P < .001) (control-adjusted decrease of 3.8% ± 1.2%, P = .002). The effect of BMC therapy was similar whether the cells were administered via intra-coronary or intra-myocardial routes and was not influenced by baseline ejection fraction or perfusion defect size.

conclusionsBMC transfer appears to have a positive impact on LV recovery in patients with acute coronary syndrome and those with stable coronary disease with or without heart failure. Most studies were small and a minority used a core laboratory for image analysis.
