Figure 5 Forest plot for Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction Myocardial Perfusion Grades (0, 1, 2, and 3).
A: Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction Myocardial Perfusion Grades (TMPG) grades 0; B: TMPG grades 1; C: TMPG grades 2; D: TMPG grades 3. Nicorandil significantly increased the incidence of TMPG 3 following percutaneous coronary intervention, while no such differences were observed for TMPG 0,1 and 2. Subgroup analysis showed a statistically significant difference for TMPG 3 when stratified by route of administration. MH: Mantel-Haenszel; CI: Confidence interval; IV: Intravenous; IC: Intracoronary; PO: Per orem.
