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

Objective: This study aimed to identify independent risk factors for intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) and develop a clinical risk score for predicting IMH in elderly patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective observational study of 232 consecutive elderly patients (≥60 years) with STEMI who underwent primary PCI between August 2020 and August 2024 and completed cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging 3-7 days post-procedure. Patients were classified into IMH ( Results: The incidence of IMH was 33.2% (77/232). Multivariate logistic regression identified the following independent predictors: renal insufficiency (OR = 2.95, 95% CI: 1.41-6.18, Conclusion: IMH is common in elderly STEMI patients after primary PCI and is independently associated with renal dysfunction, extensive coronary disease, delayed reperfusion, and markers of myocardial injury. The IMH-RS score, derived from a comprehensive integration of patient comorbidities, coronary anatomy, procedural timing, and myocardial injury severity, represents a novel and practical bedside tool for early risk stratification. This integrative approach provides a more holistic risk assessment than individual predictors alone. The score may guide targeted management strategies to mitigate microvascular injury.
