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 Coronary flow reserve (CFR) and microvascular resistance reserve (MRR) are physiological parameters to assess coronary microvascular dysfunction. CFR and MRR can be assessed using bolus or continuous thermodilution, and the correlation between these methods has not been clarified. Furthermore, their association with angina and quality of life is unknown. Methods and Results In total, 246 consecutive patients with angina and nonobstructive coronary arteries from the multicenter Netherlands Registry of Invasive Coronary Vasomotor Function Testing (NL-CFT) were investigated. The 36-item Short Form Health Survey Quality of Life and Seattle Angina questionnaires were completed by 153 patients before the invasive measurements. CFR and MRR were measured consecutively with bolus and continuous thermodilution. Mean continuous thermodilution-derived coronary flow reserve (CFR
