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

Early reperfusion remains the key therapy to salvage viable myocardium and must be applied as soon as possible following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) to attenuate the ischemic insult. However, reperfusion injury may develop following reintroduction of blood and oxygen to vulnerable myocytes, which results in more severe cell death than in the preceding ischemic episode. Ischemic postconditioning (I-PostC) provides a cardioprotective effect in combination with pharmacological agents. Although nitrates have been tested in many experimental and clinical studies of acute AMI to evaluate the cardioprotective effect, few investigations have been focused on nitrates postconditioning in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This review presents the manifestations of myocardial reperfusion injury (RI) and potential mechanisms underlying it, and provides the mechanisms involved in the cardioprotection of I-PostC. We also present a new therapeutic approach to attenuate RI by use of an 'old' agent - nitrates - in AMI patients.
