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
The feasibility and prognostic value of quantitative flow ratio (QFR) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients have not been assessed. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic utility of post-PCI QFR to predict outcomes in STEMI and determine the influence of functional results, in both culprit and nonculprit lesions, after PCI. Patients undergoing PCI of culprit lesions and receiving staged procedures of nonculprit lesions after 7 days were enrolled from 2 centers and underwent post-PCI QFR. The primary outcome was the vessel-oriented composite endpoints (VOCEs), defined as vessel-related cardiovascular death, vessel-related myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization. Four hundred fifteen vessels (186 culprit lesions and 219 nonculprit lesions) in 186 patients were analyzed. Measured at staged PCI, the post-PCI QFR of culprit lesions was significantly lower than that of nonculprit lesions (0.92 ± 0.10 versus 0.95 ± 0.08, p < 0.001). The multivariable model demonstrated that low post-PCI QFR was an independent predictor of 2-year VOCE (20.8% versus 5.7%; hazard ratio 2.718; 95% CI 1.347-5.486; p = 0.005). In STEMI patients with a low angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (≤ 40U), a good correlation and agreement between post-PCI QFR value of culprit lesions at primary and staged procedures (r = 0.942; mean difference: - 0.0017 [- 0.074 to 0.070]) was identified. In conclusion, culprit lesions suffered from suboptimal functional results more frequently compared to nonculprit lesions after PCI in STEMI patients. Low post-PCI QFR was associated with subsequent adverse clinical outcomes. After stenting, culprit lesions may feasibly be assessed through QFR without significant microvascular dysfunction.
