Observational Study of Sublingual Microcirculation in Patients With Chronic Cardiovascular Disease.

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
backgroundSublingual video microscopy is increasingly used to study the microcirculation in acute illness. However, the sublingual microcirculation in patients with chronic cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is understudied. Our objective was to quantify sublingual microcirculatory parameters in a large cohort of patients with CVD.
methodsOne hundred and thirteen patients with CVD were enrolled. Incident dark-field handheld video microscopy (IDF-HVM) was used to quantify microvascular flow index (MFI), microvascular heterogeneity index (MHI), proportion of perfused vessels (PPV), perfused vessel density (PVD), and total vessel density (TVD). Data were stratified by age quartiles (20-39, 40-59, 60-79, 80+), cardiovascular comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, coronary artery disease, heart failure), and systemic hemodynamics (mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure).
resultsIn our 113 patient cohort, overall MFI = 2.86 ± 0.20; MHI = 0.15 ± 0.20; PPV = 94.3% ± 4.9%; PVD = 23.1 ± 4.7 mm/mm
conclusionIn patients with stable cardiovascular disease, sublingual microvascular parameters are similar across age, blood pressure, and comorbidity cohorts, with the exception of decreased MHI in diabetic patients.
