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

purpose of reviewHeart failure (HF) after right ventricular myocardial infarction (RVMI) is common and complicates its clinical course. This review aims to provide a current overview on the characteristic features of RV failure with focus on acute management. RECENT

findingsWhile HF after RVMI is classically seen after acute proximal right coronary artery occlusion, RV dysfunction may also occur after larger infarctions in the left coronary artery. Because of its different anatomy and physiology, the RV appears to be more resistant to permanent infarction compared to the LV with greater potential for recovery of ischemic myocardium. Hypotension and elevated jugular pressure in the presence of clear lung fields are hallmark signs of RV failure and should prompt confirmation by echocardiography. Management decisions are still mainly based on small studies and extrapolation of findings from LV failure. Early revascularization improves short- and long-term outcomes. Acute management should further focus on optimization of preload and afterload, maintenance of sufficient perfusion pressures, and prompt management of arrhythmias and concomitant LV failure, if present. In case of cardiogenic shock, use of vasopressors and/or inotropes should be considered along with timely use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in eligible patients. HF after RVMI is still a marker of worse outcome in acute coronary syndrome. Prompt revascularization, careful medical therapy with attention to the special physiology of the RV, and selected use of MCS provide the RV the time it needs to recover from the ischemic insult.
