Effects of salvianolate on myocardial perfusion after primary percutaneous catheter intervention in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundDespite prompt revascularization following acute myocardial infarction, poor myocardial perfusion commonly occurs due to impaired microvascular circulation and is an independent predictor of adverse outcomes. The current trial sought to examine the effects of salvianolate on myocardial perfusion in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who were undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
methodsThis randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study evaluated the effects of intravenous salvianolate on the achievement of complete epicardial and myocardial reperfusion after PCI, defined as thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow grade 3 and thrombolysis in myocardial infarction myocardial perfusion grade 3. We also measured plasma total creatine kinase-mass band fraction (CK-MB)-estimated infarct size and echocardiography-derived left ventricular ejection fraction and recorded the 30-day clinical and safety outcomes. A total of 536 patients presenting with acute STEMI were randomized to receive either an i.v. infusion of salvianolate (n=265) or placebo (n=271).
resultsSalvianolate administration exerted beneficial effects on coronary microcirculation. There was a trend of reduced myocardial infarct size in the salvianolate group compared to the placebo group (P=0.070), although no significant difference in left ventricular ejection fraction was found between the two groups.
conclusionsSalvianolate administration is associated with improved myocardial perfusion in patients with STEMI undergoing PCI. A larger study is required to assess the impact of this therapy on clinical cardiac outcomes.
