Optimal timing of pharmacoinvasive strategy and its impact on clinical and economic outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a real-world perspective.

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
Background: The pharmacoinvasive (PhI) strategy is the standard-of-care for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients when primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) is unfeasible. Optimal timing for post-fibrinolytic PCI (lysis-PCI) remains elusive. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the clinical and economic impacts of early vs. delayed lysis-PCI in patients with STEMI. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 1,043 STEMI patients classified by lysis-PCI timing. The primary outcome was in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (4p-MACE), with secondary outcomes such as 3p-MACE, in-hospital mortality, and costs. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the association between lysis-PCI timing and outcomes. Cost analyses were conducted from the perspective of Brazilian public healthcare system, with values converted to international dollars (Int$) for broader applicability. Results: Every 4-h delay in lysis-PCI was associated with a 44% reduction in in-hospital mortality [OR = 0.560 (95% CI: 0.381-0.775); Conclusion: Delaying lysis-PCI was found to be associated with reduced in-hospital cardiovascular adverse events and lower costs, particularly among older adults. Further research should develop evidence-based lysis-PCI protocols that optimize both clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
