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

Objective: This pilot study aimed to explore the association between the GRACE score and right ventricular (RV) function, including ejection fraction, volumes, and stroke volume, assessed using three-dimensional echocardiography in patients with acute inferior STEMI undergoing primary PCI. Methods: This cross-sectional pilot study was conducted in the angiography department of Qaem Hospital, Mashhad, from January 2020 to June 2021. Patients with acute inferior STEMI who underwent successful primary PCI and were hemodynamically stable were included. Three-dimensional echocardiography was performed 24-48 h after PCI. The GRACE in-hospital mortality risk score was calculated at admission. Associations between GRACE score and RV parameters were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multivariable linear regression. Results: A total of 40 patients (mean age 56.75 ± 11.31 years; 70% male) were included. Significant negative correlations were observed between GRACE score and RV end-diastolic volume ( Conclusion: This study demonstrates an exploratory association between GRACE score and right ventricular function in patients with acute inferior STEMI undergoing primary PCI. These findings are hypothesis-generating and require validation in larger prospective studies with clinical outcomes.
