Review in Nature cardiovascular research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Microvascular dysfunction (MVD) contributes to several conditions that increase morbidity and mortality, including ischemic heart disease, heart failure, dementia, chronic kidney disease and hypertension. Consequently, MVD imposes a substantial burden on healthcare systems worldwide. In comparison to macrovascular dysfunction, MVD has been incompletely investigated, and it remains uncertain whether MVD in an organ constitutes a distinct pathology or a manifestation of a systemic disorder. Here, we summarize and appraise the techniques that are used to diagnose MVD. We review the disorders of the heart, brain and kidneys in which the role of MVD has been highlighted and summarize evidence hinting at a systemic or multi-organ nature of MVD. Finally, we discuss the benefits and limitations of implementing MVD testing in clinical practice with a focus on new interventions that are beginning to emerge.
