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

Background and aims Complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) is associated with poor clinical outcomes in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study determined the frequency and outcomes of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in patients with CAVB with acute inferior STEMI. Methods We conducted an observational, prospective study and enrolled 151 patients who were diagnosed with inferior STEMI. All patients received PPCI. The clinical outcomes were compared in patients with and without CAVB. The data was recorded on a collection form and analyzed on Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Descriptive statistics were applied. For quantitative variables, standard deviation and mean were obtained, and statistical tests were also applied. Results Baseline characteristics were homogeneous in all patients. Half of the study population was either diabetic or hypertensive. Out of 151 participants, 21 (13.9%) developed CAVB. Two-thirds of the patients, who had developed heart block, reverted after PPCI. After a follow-up of two weeks, in-hospital mortality did not differ between the groups. Conclusion We conclude that PPCI can improve outcomes of CAVB-complicated acute inferior STEMI and suggest that primary PCI should be the preferred reperfusion therapy in patients with CAVB with STEMI.
