Assessment of the Efficacy and Safety of Early Intracoronary Nicorandil Administration in Patients With ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

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
Background No-reflow phenomenon (NRP) remains a challenge in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. We determined the efficacy and safety of early intracoronary administration of nicorandil as an adjunct to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) in STEMI patients to reduce the risk of NRP. Materials and methods In this single-center case-control prospective study, 100 STEMI patients who underwent pPCI had thrombectomy performed using a suction catheter, and tirofiban (10 mg/kg) was injected distal to the vascular lesion. All patients were divided into two groups. Group A was a treatment group (nicorandil, n=50) and group B was a control group (placebo, n=50). The primary endpoint was the composite endpoint of in-hospital cardiovascular mortality or unscheduled re-hospitalization due to deterioration of congestive heart failure that was assessed with the help of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), and left ventricular ejection fraction at six months following pPCI. The secondary endpoints were thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade, TIMI myocardial perfusion grade (TMPG), the incidence of reperfusion arrhythmias like ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, and ST segment elevation resolution (STR) on ECG following pPCI. Results The in-hospital cardiovascular mortality and re-hospitalization rates were 2% and 6% in the nicorandil group, whereas it was 6% and 14% in the control group. On the 180
