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
introductionPrimary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the preferred treatment of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Manual thrombectomy catheters developed to prevent distant embolization are theoretically attractive; however, their clinical efficacy remains controversial. The effects of manual thrombectomy catheters on angiographically visible distal embolisation (AVDE) have not been studied so far. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of manual thrombectomy during PPCI on AVDE and to investigate whether there are differences in the incidence of AVDE according to the catheters used. MATERIAL AND
methodsSix hundred thirty-six consecutive patients undergoing primary PCI were included in the study between January 2010 and December 2012. Patients were divided into two groups: the PCI only group (465 patients) and the PCI plus manual thrombectomy group (171 patients).
resultsThrombus aspiration was associated with higher AVDE (13.55% vs. 26.9%,
conclusionsAngiographically visible distal embolisation during primary PCI occurs in a significant number of patients treated with manual thrombectomy. The results indicated that the incidence of AVDE may be different depending on the thrombectomy catheters used.
