Effect of ramipril on progression of nonculprit lesions in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction after primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

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
objectiveTo investigate the effect of ramipril on progression of nonculprit lesions in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).
methodsA total of 200 patients (60.1 ± 11.3 years) with STEMI who underwent successful PPCI from January 2010 to December 2013 were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent PPCI as treatment for culprit lesions. Patients were divided into two groups according to the dosage of ramipril used at hospital discharge as follows: high dosage group (2.5-10 mg, q.d.) and low dosage group (1.25-2.5 mg, q.d.). Clinical and angiographic follow-up was performed for 12 months. The primary endpoint was clinically-driven percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for nonculprit lesions. The clinical and angiographic features were analyzed.
resultsClinical and angiographic follow-up was performed with 87 patients in the high dosage group and 113 patients in the low dosage group. The numbers of patients who underwent additional PCI were six and 20 in the high and low dosage groups, respectively. The rate of having additional PCI performed was lower in the high dosage group than in the low dosage group (6.90%
conclusionsA high dosage of ramipril may prevent progression of nonculprit lesions, which could be the major cause of recurrent PCI in patients with STEMI after PPCI.
