Association of caffeine levels with myocardial perfusion during pharmacological stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
Article in American heart journal plus : cardiology research and practice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Caffeine, a nonselective adenosine A2 receptor antagonist, blunts adenosine-induced coronary hyperemia. Despite recommended abstinence before adenosine stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRi), residual caffeine may affect myocardial perfusion reserve index (MPRI), a marker of coronary microvascular dysfunction. Methods: Symptomatic patients without obstructive coronary artery disease underwent adenosine stress-rest CMRi after 48-h abstinence from caffeine and vasoactive medications. Plasma caffeine was measured pre-scan and subjects were categorized into 2 groups according to caffeine levels (<1 mg/L and ≥ 1 mg/L). Hemodynamics, MPRI and splenic switch-off were compared to assess adequate adenosine stress response during imaging. Results: Of 109 patients studied, 15 (14 %) had detectable caffeine level. Other than sex, there were no significant differences between the two groups. Transmyocardial MPRI did not correlate with caffeine level ≥ 1 mg/L ( Conclusion: Mildly elevated plasma levels of caffeine did not affect measures of adequacy of response to adenosine during stress CMRi.
