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

backgroundCardiogenic shock following acute myocardial infarction (AMI-CS) is associated with high mortality. Short-term mechanical circulatory support (ST-MCS) is frequently used after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to stabilize hemodynamics. However, balancing anticoagulation (AC) and antiplatelet therapy in this setting poses substantial bleeding risk.

objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate real-world antithrombotic strategies and associated ischemic and hemorrhagic complications in AMI-CS patients receiving ST-MCS.

methodsThis retrospective, single-center study included all consecutive AMI-CS patients who underwent PCI and required ST-MCS between January 2017 and October 2024. AC and antiplatelet regimens were recorded from ST-MCS initiation until shock resolution. Ischemic and hemorrhagic events during this period were analyzed. The primary composite clinical endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as a composite of ischemic events and all-cause mortality occurring during the period of cardiogenic shock.

resultsAmong 71 patients with AMI-CS who underwent PCI and required ST-MCS (mean age 62 ± 13 years, 69% male), in-hospital mortality was 56%, and MACE occurred in 42%. At ST-MCS initiation, 79% received triple therapy, decreasing to 39% by Day 7. Ischemic events were infrequent (8%) and mainly cerebrovascular. No cases of recurrent myocardial infarction or stent thrombosis were observed. Major bleeding (BARC ≥ 3) occurred in 32% of patients, typically within the first 48 h, and was more frequent in those supported with VA-ECMO.

conclusionIn AMI-CS patients requiring ST-MCS, ischemic events were uncommon, whereas major bleeding was frequent and occurred early. These findings underscore the need for individualized antithrombotic strategies in this high-risk population.
