Molecular Mechanisms of Microvascular Obstruction and Dysfunction in Percutaneous Coronary Interventions: From Pathophysiology to Therapeutics-A Comprehensive Review.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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.
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
Coronary microvascular obstruction and dysfunction (CMVO) frequently arise following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), particularly in individuals with myocardial infarction. Despite the restoration of epicardial blood flow, microvascular perfusion might still be compromised, resulting in negative clinical outcomes. CMVO is a complex condition resulting from a combination of ischemia, distal thrombotic embolization, reperfusion injury, and individual susceptibilities such as inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. The pathophysiological features of this condition include microvascular spasm, endothelial swelling, capillary plugging by leukocytes and platelets, and oxidative stress. Traditional angiographic assessments, such as Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade and myocardial blush grade, have limited sensitivity. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) stands as the gold standard for identifying CMVO, while the index of microvascular resistance (IMR) is a promising invasive option. Treatment approaches involve powerful antiplatelet drugs, anticoagulants, and supersaturated oxygen, yet no treatment has been definitively shown to reverse established CMVO. CMVO remains a significant therapeutic challenge in coronary artery disease management. Enhancing the comprehension of its core mechanisms is vital for the development of more effective and personalized treatment strategies.
