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: Residual inflammation and persistent lipid abnormalities substantially increase the risk of adverse clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Although proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors have been shown to improve cardiovascular outcomes, the efficacy, safety, and prognosis of these inhibitors when administered as a single dose after PPCI in real-world practice remain unclear. Method: A retrospective study of patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) admitted between May 2023 and May 2024. Patients were assigned to an alirocumab group or a conventional treatment group based on whether a single dose of alirocumab was administered within 6 hours of PPCI. Baseline differences between groups were balanced using 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM). The occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) at 12 months post-procedure was applied as the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints included lipid profiles, inflammatory markers, cardiac function, quality-of-life changes, and safety outcomes. Results: A non-significant downward trend in the incidence of MACEs at 12 months post-PPCI was observed in the alirocumab group compared with the conventional treatment group (log-rank Conclusions: This study demonstrated that a single dose of alirocumab in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI was associated with significant improvement in LDL-C levels, attenuation of early postoperative inflammation, and a favorable trend toward improved cardiac function and quality of life, while maintaining an acceptable safety profile.
