Figure 6 Forest plot for left ventricular ejection fraction following percutaneous coronary intervention in ST-segment elevation myo cardial infarction patients receiving nicorandil after 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months.
A: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at 1 week; B: LVEF at 1 month; C: LVEF at 3 months; D: LVEF at 6 months. Nicorandil was associated with significant improvement in LVEF at all follow-up intervals. No statistically significant differences were observed between subgroups stratified by route of administration at any follow-up interval. CI: Confidence interval; IV: Intravenous; IC: Intracoronary.
