Effect of High-Dose Statin Pretreatment on the Incidence of Periprocedural Myocardial Infarction in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Grading the Evidence Through a Cumulative Meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Clinical cardiology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPrevious studies have showed that high-dose statin pretreatment could reduce the incidence of periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, previous analyses have not performed reliable grading of evidence. HYPOTHESIS: In previous analyses, it supposed that the high-dose statin pretreatment was effective in reduction of the rate of PMI. In this analysis, we evaluated the effect of high-dose statin pretreatment on the reduction of rate of PMI based on a cumulative meta-analysis and grading of evidence.
methodsWe assembled the relevant published randomized controlled trials that compared the efficacy of high-dose statin pretreatment prior to PCI. We evaluated the risk of PMI by a cumulative meta-analysis, with subgroups stratified by clinical classifications and different statin histories, and we conducted explicit grading of evidence.
resultsHigh-dose statin pretreatment caused a 55% reduction in PMI through this cumulative meta-analysis of 23 RCTs (odds ratio [OR]: 0.45, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.37-0.54). The effect of high-dose statin pretreatment was significant for the stable angina subgroup (OR: 0.42, 95% CI: 0.32-0.56), ACS subgroup (OR: 0.43, 95% CI: 0.29-0.64), and the mixed presentation subgroup (OR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.36-0.70). In different statin therapy histories, high-dose statin pretreatment reduced incidence of PMI 55% in the statin-naive subgroup (OR: 0.45, 95% CI: 0.36-0.56) and 54% in the low-dose statin subgroup (OR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.32-0.66). The GRADE system indicated that the overall evidence quality was moderate. This finding may strengthen the confidence in any recommendations.
conclusionsHigh-dose statin pretreatment can reduce the rate of PMI, irrespective of either the clinical presentation or previous statin-treatment history. Importantly, the overall GRADE evidence quality was moderate.
