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

objectiveTo systematically review the effect of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) on the cardiac function in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

methodsPubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Chinese Biomedical Database (CBD), and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of traditional exercise for patients with AMI undergoing PCI from the beginning of the database inception to January 2019. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the quality of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.3 software.

resultsA total of 16 RCTs and 1551 patients were included. The results of the meta-analysis showed that, compared with the control-treated patients, rhBNP-treated patients with AMI had an increased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 3.34% ([MD = 3.34, 95% CI (0.39,6.29), P = .03]) 1 week postoperatively, 6.22% ([MD = 6.22, 95% CI (4.15,8.28), P < .00001]) 4 weeks postoperatively, 7.34% ([mean difference (MD) = 7.34, 95% CI (4.52, 10.16), P < .00001]) 12 weeks postoperatively, and 5.32% ([MD = 5.32, 95% CI (3.05, 7.59), P < .00001]) 24 weeks postoperatively. Moreover, the heart failure (HF) recurrence of rhBNP-treated patients with AMI 12 weeks postoperatively was 0.24 times that of the control-treated patients ([risk ratio (RR) = 0.24, 95% CI (0.06, 0.92), P = .04]), and the difference was statistically significant. At the same time, rhBNP-treated patients had decreased N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours) and aldosterone (Ald) (24 hours, 72 hours, 168 hours) levels in comparison with the control-treated patients.

conclusionCurrent evidence shows that the application of rhBNP presents a greater clinical benefit to patients with AMI undergoing PCI. Due to the methodological bias in the included studies and small sample size, more high-quality studies are required to verify the study findings.
