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: Salvianolate for injection (SFI) is a widely used treatment for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of SFI in treating AMI by synthesizing evidence from published randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Methods: Seven databases were searched for relevant RCTs published up to 1 July 2024. Two investigators independently conducted the literature searches, data extraction, and quality assessment. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed to address potential heterogeneity. Data analyses were conducted using RevMan 5.4 software. Result: Thirty RCTs with a total of 3,931 participants were included in the study and analyzed. The results revealed that SFI significantly reduced major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) (RR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.24 to 0.49, Conclusion: This study suggests that SFI may be a promising alternative therapy for treating AMI without increasing the risk of adverse events. However, our findings may be limited by the quality of the existing studies. High-quality RCTs are needed to provide more robust evidence.
