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

Prinzmetal angina, also known as vasospastic angina, is defined as an intermittent focal or diffuse coronary artery narrowing, which is often associated with transient ST-segment elevation on an electrocardiogram. Also, it could be associated with an atherosclerotic lesion at the site of the spasm. Vasospastic angina might be induced by medications, most commonly with cocaine and other examples which include catecholamines such as epinephrine, norepinephrine, isoproterenol, dopamine, and dobutamine. Parasympathomimetic agents include acetylcholine, methacholine, and pilocarpine. It is rarely caused by tacrolimus. The clinical evaluation includes an electrocardiogram and echocardiogram. The confirmed diagnosis is done by coronary angiography. Cardiac catheterization is indicated in such cases to rule out coronary artery disease.
