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

Background Anemia and blood loss occur often in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In-hospital hemoglobin drop is associated with 1-year mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, data on the effect of hemoglobin reduction on myocardial salvage and long-term outcomes are scarce. We investigated the impact of in-hospital hemoglobin drop on myocardial salvage and 5-year mortality in patients with STEMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods and Results In-hospital hemoglobin drop was defined as a decrease in hemoglobin levels from admission and nadir hemoglobin values. Patients were categorized as having the following: no drop, minimal drop (<3 g/dL), minor drop (≥3 to <5 g/dL), and major drop (≥5 g/dL). Myocardial area at risk and infarct size were measured using serial single-photon emission computerized tomography imaging. The co-primary outcomes were myocardial salvage and 5-year all-cause mortality. Of 1204 patients, 1169 (97.1%) showed a hemoglobin drop during hospitalization: minimal, minor, and major drop occurred in 894 (74.3%), 214 (17.8%), and 61 (5.1%) patients, respectively. Myocardial salvage was reduced in patients with minimal (median, 0.53 [interquartile range, 0.27-0.83]), minor (median, 0.40 [interquartile range, 0.18-0.62]), and major (median, 0.40 [interquartile range, 0.14-0.77]) drop compared with patients without drop (median, 0.70 [interquartile range, 0.44-1.0],
