Article in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 efficacy of delayed stenting strategies in the management of high thrombus burden acute myocardial infarction remains uncertain. We aimed to compare the therapeutic effects and financial implications of immediate and delayed stenting strategies in patients with acute myocardial infarction and high thrombus burden treated at our institution. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 158 patients who underwent intracoronary thrombus aspiration for acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College between 2013 and 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: immediate stenting (immediate group; n = 101) and delayed stenting (delayed group; n = 57), based on the timing of the stenting procedure. Propensity score matching was performed to minimize confounding bias. Therapeutic effects and cost of treatment were compared between the two groups. Results: After propensity score matching (n = 52 for each group), there were no significant differences in terms of baseline clinical characteristics, characteristics of vascular lesions (number of diseased vessels, culprit vessels, thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) thrombus grade, proximal coronary artery lesion), the incidence of no-reflow/slow flow during the first surgery, or the use of antiplatelet drugs, intraprocedural anticoagulants, intracoronary drugs, and tirofiban. There were no significant between-group differences in terms of in-hospital all-cause mortality, in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events, or hospitalization costs. However, peak creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB) levels were significantly lower in the delayed group. Conclusions: For patients with STEMI undergoing emergency thrombus aspiration, a delayed stenting strategy appears to be non-inferior to immediate stenting strategy in terms of clinical efficacy and hospitalization costs, and may reduce the extent of myocardial injury. Delayed stenting strategy may allow for a more individualized surgical approach based on assessment of thrombus burden and lesion complexity.
