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

backgroundThe DanGer Shock trial investigated the effects of adding a microaxial flow pump to guideline-recommended therapy in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)-related cardiogenic shock (CS), finding a lower all-cause mortality at 180 days in the intervention group.

methodsDanGer Shock eligibility criteria were applied to the prospective single-center PREPARE CardShock registry, which consecutively enrolled 721 patients between April 2019 and August 2024 with advanced CS-classified as stages C to E according to the SCAI shock classification-who were on vasoactive medication and underwent cardiac catheterization.

resultsAmong 721 patients in the registry, 384 (53.3%) had STEMI-related CS. Of those, 117 (30.5%) met DanGer Shock trial eligibility criteria, accounting for 16.2% of the registry cohort. Median age of the eligible patients was 68 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 58-78), and 62.4% were male, compared to 68 years (IQR: 60-76) and 79.2% in DanGer Shock. PREPRARE-CS DanGer Shock eligible patients had a higher median systolic blood pressure (SBP) (92 mmHG [78-107] vs. 83 mmHG, [72-91]) and higher median lactate levels (5.2 mmol/L [3.6-7.6] vs. 4.6 mmol/L [3.3-7.0]) at baseline, and were more frequently resuscitated (56.4% vs. 20.3%). Device use was 42.7% in eligible patients. Renal replacement therapy (RRT) was more frequent among trial participants (34.4% vs. 17.1%). The 180-day mortality rate among eligible patients was 71.8%, compared to 52.1% in trial participants.

conclusionsAmong STEMI-related CS patients in our cohort, only one-third met the DanGer Shock eligibility criteria. Consequently, trial outcomes may not be broadly applicable.
