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: This study evaluated the prognostic value of pulmonary transit time (PTT) and myocardial strain in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients stratified by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) classification. Material and methods: A total of 521 STEMI patients underwent 3.0-T cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging between January 2017 and December 2025. PTT was measured as the number of cardiac cycles for contrast to travel from the right to left ventricle during first-pass perfusion. Global myocardial strain (longitudinal, circumferential, radial) was assessed via CMR feature tracking. Cox regression analyses were used to evaluate associations of PTT, normalized PTT (nPTT), wall motion score index (WMSI), and global longitudinal strain (GLS) with major adverse cardiac events (MACE: death, re-infarction, heart failure). Results: Of 409 analyzed patients, higher CCS stages were associated with prolonged PTT, greater myocardial injury, and elevated pulmonary blood volume index (PBVI), WMSI, and microvascular obstruction (MVO). Over six months, myocardial strain improved in CCS1-3, while GLS worsened in CCS4. Multivariable analysis identified PBVI, nPTT, PTT, GLS, and WMSI as independent predictors of MACE. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed significantly lower MACE-free survival in CCS4 patients ( Conclusion: Elevated PTT correlates with severe myocardial injury and adverse outcomes. PBVI, nPTT, PTT, GLS, and WMSI are independent prognostic indicators, providing valuable risk stratification across CCS stages.
