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
Elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP) increases myocardial oxygen demand, whereas low diastolic blood pressure (DBP) can impair coronary perfusion. The prognostic impact of this high-SBP/low-DBP (HSLD) profile in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains unknown. We analyzed 696 consecutive patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from a prospective 11-center registry in Japan. Patients were categorized based on pre-procedural SBP (≥ 120 mmHg) and DBP (< 70 mmHg) into four groups: high-SBP/low-DBP (HSLD) high-SBP/high-DBP (HSHD), low-SBP/high-DBP (LSHD), and low-SBP/low-DBP (LSLD). The primary endpoint was a 1-year composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or stroke. Median follow-up was 369 days. The 1-year cumulative incidence of the primary endpoint was 7 (9.5%) in the HSLD group, 19 (4.2%) in the HSHD group, 2 (2.8%) in the LSHD group, and 5 (6.0%) in the LSLD group (log-rank p = 0.007). In multivariable Cox regression, the HSLD was independently associated with the primary endpoint compared to the HSHD group (hazard ratio 3.20, 95% CI 1.04-9.87; p = 0.043). The prognostic value of HSLD was consistent across major subgroups. A pre-procedural blood pressure pattern of SBP ≥ 120 mmHg combined with DBP < 70 mmHg independently predicts a higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events at 1 year in patients with STEMI. This simple measurement at admission identifies a previously unrecognized high-risk phenotype and presents a valuable opportunity for early risk stratification.
