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

In this study, we created a reproducible myocardial infarction (MI) model in pigs characterized by a low mortality rate and significant changes in left ventricular function. After administering an arrhythmia prevention regimen, we created a 90-min balloon-induced percutaneous MI in 42 pigs below the first diagonal branch (D1) of the left anterior descending artery. Echocardiograms were performed before and 14 days after MI induction. Pigs with a > 30% decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) underwent electrophysiological mapping by the NOGA system. Our mortality rate was 4.8%. The incidence of ventricular fibrillation (VF) was 28.6%; all VF events were successfully resuscitated. At day 14, echocardiography and NOGA mapping confirmed transmural scar. LVEF decreased 41% from baseline. Radial and circumferential strain significantly decreased in the LAD distal to D1, and the LV showed dyssynchrony. An anti-arrhythmia regimen decreased mortality significantly, and our model induced dramatic functional changes. The basic procedures of the model included an arrhythmia prevention protocol and myocardial infarction creation, which effectively decreased mortality and provided a robust change in left ventricular (LV) function after 14 days.
