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

objectiveTo review the currently available data to investigate the clinical benefit of high- and low-dose glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI).

designQuantitative analysis of all randomised trials on GIK in patients with STEMI. Electronic and manual searches for randomised controlled trials of GIK in STEMI were performed with regard to inclusion criteria, dose of GIK and additional use of reperfusion therapy, and a meta-analysis with the primary endpoint 30-day mortality was performed. PATIENTS: Data from 16 randomised trials, involving 26,273 patients, were included.

resultsStudies were conducted between 1962 and 2005. Overall, hospital mortality was 9.6% after GIK compared with 10.2% in controls (p=0.088). GIK infusion was not associated with an increase in major adverse events.

conclusionThis quantitative analysis of GIK in patients with STEMI did not show a beneficial or detrimental effect of GIK infusion on 30-day mortality. GIK infusion should not be part of the standard therapy for patients with STEMI.
