Impact of improved prehospital emergency medical service system on the time management of chest pain patients in the emergency department.

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
objectivesTo investigate the impact of an improved prehospital emergency medical service system (EMSS) on the time management of chest pain (CP) patients in the Emergency Department in our hospital and define the role of the improved prehospital EMSS in the treatment of CP patients.
methodsAll patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing coronary artery stent placement (CASP) in our hospital from August 2011 to December 2012 were included in this study, and were randomly divided into a study group (SG) and control group (COG) by the random number table method. The critical time periods [e.g., time to dispatch ambulance upon the receipt of the call to 120, time from hospital entrance to the Emergency Department, time from arrival at hospital to: first treatment, to first electrocardiogram (ECG), to monitoring of vital signs, to establishment of venous access device (VAD), and to entrance to catheter room in the two groups were sorted out for statistical analysis.
resultsImproved prehospital EMSS can markedly shorten the time to dispatch ambulance upon the receipt of the call to 120, time from hospital entrance to the Emergency Department, and time to first treatment, time to first ECG, to monitoring of vital signs, to establishment of VAD, and to entrance to the catheter room; it also prolonged the 5-year survival rate (
conclusionImproved prehospital EMSS can significantly improve the time management of CP patients in the Emergency Department.
