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

Bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) have been used to treat patient with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) via intracoronary route. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the short-term efficacy and safety of this modality. Seventeen randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of BMSC-based therapy for STEMI, delivered with 9 days of reperfusion and followed up shorter than 12 months, were identified by systematic review. Intracoronary BMSC therapy resulted in an overall significant improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by 2.74 % (95 % confidence interval (CI) 2.09-3.39, P < 0.00001, I(2) = 84 %) at 3-6-month follow-up and 5.1 % (95 % CI 4.16-6.03, P < 0.00001 and I(2) = 85 %) at 12 months. The left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) and wall motion score index (WMSI) were also reduced at 3-6 months. At 12 months, left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), LVESV, and WMSI were significantly reduced in BMSC group. In conclusion, intracoronary BMSC therapy at post-STEMI is safe and effective in patient with acute STEMI.
