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

backgroundST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) continues to be a major cause of cardiovascular mortality in Kerala, India. Timely primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the recommended reperfusion strategy for STEMI. There is limited data on the safety, effectiveness, equity and efficiency of regional primary PCI services in India. METHODS/

designThe primary angioplasty registry of Kerala is a clinician-initiated prospective state-wide longitudinal hospital-based registry of patients undergoing primary PCI for STEMI. The registry aims to document the efficacy and safety of the real world use of primary PCI in Indian patients presenting with STEMI, in order to achieve regional adoption of global standard performance indicators. In addition, the registry would analyze procedural variations in the performance of primary PCI and assess its impact on relevant patient centered outcomes. We plan to enroll 6000 STEMI patients, undergoing primary PCI, across 48 hospitals. These patients would be followed up for a minimum of 1year.

conclusionsThe primary angioplasty registry of Kerala would help analyze the quality and outcomes of primary PCI services in Kerala, thereby yielding insights that can help limit unacceptable procedural variations in the performance of primary PCI. Identifying deviations from guideline based therapies can form the basis of quality improvement programs, which in turn will enable hospitals to achieve better patient outcomes.
