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

Cardiometabolic risk factors, including high fasting plasma glucose (hFPG), are emerging prognostic determinants in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) or heart failure (HF). Coronary microvascular dysfunction might be a comprehensive risk predictor in these patients. The purpose of this study was to assess whether hFPG and global myocardial blood flow (MBF) reserve measured by positron emission tomography (PET), expressing global coronary function, predict long-term prognosis beyond other risk factors and presence of obstructive CAD or left ventricular (LV) dysfunction associated with HF. We retrospectively collected long-term follow-up data in 103 patients (mean age 61 ± 10 years, 74 males) with stable chest pain or dyspnoea who underwent cardiac PET/computerized tomography and coronary angiography. Disease phenotypes included obstructive CAD (35%), LV dysfunction without obstructive CAD (43%), or none (22%). At multivariable logistic regression analysis, MBF reserve lower than the median value (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.5-2.2) was significantly associated with male gender (OR 3.45, 95% CI 1.21-9.83) and hFPG (OR 3.87, 95% CI 1.17-12.84) among all risk factors. In a median follow-up of 10.9 years (interquartile range 7.8-13.9), 39 patients (37.8%) died (13.6% cardiac death). At multivariable Cox analyses including all risk factors and disease phenotypes, age (HR 1.07, 95% CI 1.02-1.12), hFPG (HR 2.18, 95% CI 1.02-4.63), and depressed MBF reserve (HR 4.47, 95% CI 1.96-10.18) were independent predictors of death (global
