Microvascular perfusion in infarcted and remote myocardium after successful primary PCI: angiographic and CMR findings.
Trial report in European radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the association between TIMI myocardial perfusion (TMP) grading acute and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) first-pass perfusion early and at 4 months in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). MATERIAL AND
methodsOne hundred ninety-eight STEMI patients were recruited from the POSTEMI study. TMP grade was assessed after PCI; CMR was performed at day 2 and after 4 months. Signal intensity was measured on first-pass perfusion images, and a maximum contrast enhancement index (MCE) was calculated.
resultsPatients with TMP grade 2-3 (n = 108) after PCI had significantly better EF (59 ± 10 vs. 51 ± 13, p < 0.001) and smaller infarct volume (12 ± 8 vs. 19 ± 12 %, p < 0.001) at 4 months compared with patients with TMP grade 0-1 (n = 81). MCE in the infarcted (MCEi) and remote myocardium (MCEr) improved from early to follow-up CMR, MCEi from 94 ± 56 to 126 ± 59, p < 0.001, and MCEr from 112 ± 51 to 127 ± 50, p < 0.001. In patients with the lowest CMR perfusion early, perfusion at 4 months remained decreased compared with the other groups, MCEi 108 ± 75 vs. 133 ± 51, p = 0.01, and MCEr 115 ± 41 vs. 131 ± 52, p = 0.047.
conclusionTMP grade and early CMR first-pass perfusion were associated with CMR outcomes at 4 months. First-pass perfusion improved after 4 months in the infarcted and remote myocardium. However, in patients with the lowest CMR perfusion early, perfusion was still reduced after 4 months. KEY POINTS: • Cardiac magnetic resonance myocardial first-pass perfusion and TMP grading after successful PCI helps to assess risk in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction. • Cardiac magnetic resonance myocardial first-pass perfusion shows that microvascular perfusion after ST elevation myocardial infarction can be impaired in both infarcted and non-infarcted myocardium. • Microvascular perfusion improves over time in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary PCI.
