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

Background and Aims: Arrhythmias and major adverse cardiac events remain significant complications following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Shenfu injection, a traditional Chinese medicine formulation, has shown cardioprotective effects in preclinical studies. This trial is aimed at investigating whether Shenfu injection as an adjunctive therapy to standard treatment could reduce arrhythmias and improve clinical outcomes in patients with STEMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled trial was conducted at Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital among 245 patients with STEMI undergoing PCI. Participants were randomized to receive either standard therapy plus Shenfu injection (50 mL, administered intravenously twice daily for five consecutive days) ( Results: A total of 245 patients underwent randomization (123 assigned to Shenfu injection group and 122 assigned to control group). During hospitalization, patients assigned to Shenfu injection had a significantly lower incidence of arrhythmias compared with the control group (24.4% vs. 38.5%, Conclusions: Treatment with Shenfu injection as an adjunctive therapy to standard treatment in patients with STEMI undergoing PCI significantly reduced in-hospital arrhythmias, infarct size, microvascular obstruction, and major adverse cardiac events during a 12-month follow-up period. The independent effect on arrhythmias after comprehensive statistical adjustment and the demonstrated correlation between reduced myocardial damage and arrhythmia prevention suggest the potential therapeutic value of Shenfu injection in improving both short-term and long-term outcomes in STEMI patients. Trial Registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry Identifier: ChiCTR2200066918.
