Effect of remote ischaemic conditioning on left ventricular function in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients: The CONDI-2 echocardiographic sub-study.

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: Remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) applied to the arm by inflation and deflation of a pneumatic cuff has been shown to reduce myocardial infarct size in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). However, the effect of RIC on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) following infarct healing remains unknown. Objective: To investigate whether RIC applied in the ambulance before PPCI can improve left ventricular (LV) function in STEMI patients 3 months following infarction. Methods: Echocardiography was performed in a total of 694 patients from the CONDI-2 study a median of 112 days (IQR 63) after the initial admission. LVEF and LV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes were calculated using the modified Simpsons biplane method of disks. LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) was estimated using 2-dimensional cine-loops with a frame rate > 55 frames/second, measured in the three standard apical views. Results: There was no difference in the measured echocardiographic parameters in the RIC group as compared to the control group, including LV EF, LV GLS, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion or left ventricular volumes. In the control group, 32% had an ejection fraction < 50% compared to 37% in the RIC group (p = 0.129). Conclusion: In this largest to date randomized imaging study of RIC, RIC as an adjunct to PPCI was not associated with a change in echocardiographic measures of cardiac function compared to standard PPCI alone.
