A survival case of a young adult patient with ST-elevated myocardial infarction with high levels of lipoprotein(a).

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
A 23-year-old Japanese man presented to a nearby hospital with a complaint of chest pain. In terms of the risk factors for cardiovascular events, there were no abnormal findings in past medical examinations and no smoking history. The 12-lead electrocardiogram revealed ST-elevation in V1-V6, I, and aVL, and he was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction. Emergency coronary angiography findings revealed total occlusion of the left main trunk and collateral vessels from the right coronary artery to the left anterior descending artery. He underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention and placement of drug-eluting stent under the support of venoarterial-extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (VA-ECMO). On day 8 after the onset, transthoracic echocardiography revealed that cardiac function improved with left ventricular ejection fraction from 10% to 20% and VA-ECMO was successfully removed. Alternatively, laboratory findings revealed abnormally high levels of serum lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a), 74 mg/dL] despite the normal levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride. In addition, computed tomography angiography revealed atherosclerosis and stenosis of internal and external carotid arteries, subclavian artery, and renal artery. The abnormally high levels of serum Lp(a) could influence systemic atherosclerosis as well as the onset of myocardial infarction in our young adult patient. <
