Sharing primary percutaneous coronary intervention care: first experiences with South Limburg ST-elevation myocardial infarction network.

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
backgroundIn the region of South Limburg, the Netherlands, a shared ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) networking system (SLIM network) was implemented. During out-of-office hours, two percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) centres-Maastricht University Medical Centre and Zuyderland Medical Centre-are supported by the same interventional cardiologist. The aim of this study was to analyse performance indicators within this network and to compare them with contemporary European Society of Cardiology guidelines.
methodsKey time indicators for an all-comer STEMI population were registered by the emergency medical service and the PCI centres. The time measurements showed a non-Gaussian distribution; they are presented as median with 25th and 75th percentiles.
resultsBetween 1 February 2018 and 31 March 2019, a total of 570 STEMI patients were admitted to the participating centres. The total system delay (from emergency call to needle time) was 65 min (53-77), with a prehospital system delay of 40 min (34-47) and a door-to-needle time of 22 min (15-34). Compared with in-office hours, out-of-office hours significantly lengthened system delays (55 (47-66) vs 70 min (62-81), p < 0.001), emergency medical service transport times (29 (24-34) vs 35 min (29-40), p < 0.001) and door-to-needle times (17 (14-26) vs 26 min (18-37), p < 0.001).
conclusionsWith its effective patient pathway management, the SLIM network was able to meet the quality criteria set by contemporary European revascularisation guidelines.
