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

Aims: Endothelial dysfunction is a systemic disorder and risk factor for atherosclerosis. Our aim was to assess whether there is a relation between peripheral endothelial function and myocardial perfusion in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods and results: We prospectively studied 54 patients, who had a positive result for obstructive CAD in coronary CT angiography. Myocardial perfusion ( Conclusion: Peripheral endothelial function is related with hyperaemic MBF and with the severity of CAD in invasive coronary angiography. Due to insufficient sensitivity and specificity in the identification of reduced MBF, FMD is not suitable for clinical practice at the individual level. However, it works at the population level as a research tool when assessing endothelial dysfunction in patients with CAD.
