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

backgroundThe benefit of statin use after acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has been well established, however, the influence of the timing of statin administration has not been elucidated. The objective of this study focused on early clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

methodsThis analysis of the Korea Working Group on Myocardial Infarction registry (KorMI) study included 3,584 STEMI patients (mean age, 63 ± 13 years; male, 2,684, 74.9%) undergoing PCI from January 2008 to June 2009. Rates of major adverse cardiac events (MACE: all-cause death, recurrent MI, and target lesion revascularization) were compared among patients grouped according to statin therapy timing: I, both during and after hospitalization (n = 2,653, 74%); II, only during hospitalization (n = 309, 8.6%); III, only after discharge (n = 157, 4.4%); and IV, no statin therapy (n = 465, 13%). Mean follow-up duration was 234 ± 113 days.

resultsMultivariate factors of statin use during hospitalization included prior statin use, multiple diseased vessels, final thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow grade III, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level. At 6-month follow-up, groups III and IV had the highest MACE rates (2.3%, 3.9%, 5.1%, and 4.9% for groups I-IV, respectively, P = 0.004). After adjusting for confounders, groups II-IV had a higher MACE risk than group I [hazard ratio (HR): 3.20, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.31-7.86, P = 0.011; HR: 3.84, 95%CI: 1.47-10.02, P = 0.006; and HR: 3.17, 95%CI: 1.59-6.40, P = 0.001; respectively].

conclusionsThis study, based on the national registry database, shows early and continuous statin therapy improvs early outcomes of STEMI patients after PCI in real-world clinical practice.
