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

(1) Introduction: Distal coronary emboli occur in up to 15-30.5% of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and are associated with poor myocardial reperfusion in the territory of the infarct-related artery. The objective of this study was to analyze the possible laboratory, clinical and imaging indicators of distal coronary embolism detected with an angiography at the time of PCI with stent implantation for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). (2) Methods: This analysis included 137 patients with ACS. The levels of cardiac enzymes (creatine kinase [CK], muscle-brain fraction of CK, high-sensitivity troponin T [hsTnT]), inflammatory markers (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, white blood cell counts), sex steroids (total 17β-estradiol, total testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate [DHEA-S]), serum lipids and oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL) were measured and analyzed for their relationship with the incidence of distal coronary embolism at PCI. (3) Results: Slow coronary blood flow was detected in the coronary artery subject to intervention in 9.4% (
