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
backgroundPrimary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is crucial in managing acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), emphasizing the importance of optimal myocardial reperfusion.
objectiveThe goal of this research was to determine how loading doses of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin affected the flow rate of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) immediately post-perfusion thrombolysis in patients undergoing primary PCI. METHODOLOGY: This prospective, comparative study was carried out over a one-year period (January 2023 to December 2023) in Pakistan. Data was gathered from patient interviews and electronic medical records for adult patients receiving primary PCI. Interventional cardiologists who were blinded to the evaluation of the immediate post-perfusion TIMI flow conducted statistical analysis to compare the results between the two statin groups.
resultsBoth groups had good procedural success rates: 184 patients (92.00%) in the group using rosuvastatin and 179 patients (89.50%) in the group on atorvastatin (p = 0.284). A comparable use of auxiliary equipment was seen, with 103 patients (51.50%) and 97 patients (48.50%) in the atorvastatin group and 108 patients (54.00%) and 92 patients (46.00%) in the rosuvastatin group, respectively (p = 0.53). There were no notable variations in the immediate post-perfusion TIMI flow grades either, with p-values of 0.532 for normal flow and 0.421 for no-reflow. The two groups' mean lengths of hospital stays were comparable, measuring 3.5 days (± 1.2) for the rosuvastatin group and 3.8 days (± 1.3) for the atorvastatin group (p = 0.321).
conclusionRosuvastatin and atorvastatin had comparable rapid post-perfusion TIMI flows in the initial PCI participants, indicating that they may be used interchangeably to maximize myocardial reperfusion in acute STEMI.
