Temporal Trends in Reperfusion Delivery and Clinical Outcomes Following Implementation of a Regional STEMI Protocol: A 12-Year Perspective.
Article in CJC open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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: The Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) program aimed to increase access to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) and reduce first-medical-contact-to-device times (FMC-DTs). We evaluated the long-term program impact on PPCI access and FMC-DT, and overall and reperfusion-specific in-hospital mortality. Methods: We analyzed all VCH STEMI patients between June 2007 and November 2019. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients receiving PPCI over 4 program implementation phases over 12 years. We also evaluated overall changes in median FMC-DT and the proportion of patients achieving guideline-mandated FMC-DT, in addition to overall and reperfusion-specific in-hospital mortality. Results: A total of 3138 of 4305 VCH STEMI patients were treated with PPCI. PPCI rates increased from 40.2% to 78.7% from 2007 to 2019 ( Conclusions: A regional STEMI program increased the proportion of patients who received PPCI and improved reperfusion times over 12 years. Although no statistically significant decrease occurred in overall regional mortality incidence, mortality incidence was decreased for patients presenting to non-PCI-capable centres.
