ArticleARYA atherosclerosis
The assessment of no-reflow phenomenon incidence in early versus delayed percutaneous coronary intervention following a primary fibrinolysis.
Article in ARYA atherosclerosis. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the gold standard approach to ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). Fibrinolysis followed by PCI has been recommended. The current study aims to investigate the no-reflow phenomenon incidence in patients undergoing post-thrombolytic therapy PCI.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 250 patients with STEMI who primarily received fibrinolytic therapy followed by early (3-24 hours) (n=231) or delayed (> 24 hours) (n=19) PCI. They were also subcategorized into four intervals: <6 hours (n=98), 6-12 hours (n=93), 12-24 hours (n=38), and ≥24 hours (n=21). The demographic and medical data of the patients were retrieved. The Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction score (TIMI) was assessed at baseline and at the end of PCI. A TIMI score other than 3 was defined as no-reflow.
resultsThe incidence of the no-reflow phenomenon was not associated with any of the underlying demographic and medical characteristics of the patients (P-value>0.05). Despite the significantly higher rate of improvement in TIMI grading among those undergoing early PCI (P-value=0.04), as well as within less than 6 hours after thrombolytic therapy (P-value=0.031), the rate of the no-reflow phenomenon did not differ between the groups, neither by sorting them as early versus delayed (P-value=0.518) nor by categorizing them into four intervals (P-value=0.367).
conclusionBased on the findings of the current study, early PCI after fibrinolysis led to significantly improved TIMI flow. However, the incidence of no-reflow did not differ between the groups with early versus delayed post-fibrinolysis PCI.
