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.

Abstract

backgroundComprehensive physiological characterization of coronary endotypes remains limited, especially in epicardial dysfunction.

objectivesTo describe hemodynamic profiles across the full spectrum of coronary endotypes and explore potential links with ischemia.

methodsPatients with suspected chronic coronary syndromes who underwent invasive physiological assessment in the ANFIBIO Project (NCT05374694) were classified according to fractional flow reserve [(FFR)≤0.80] and index of microcirculatory resistance [(IMR)≥25] in the left anterior descending artery into four groups: normal indices, isolated epicardial, isolated microvascular, and combined dysfunction. Coronary pressure, flow, and resistance indices were compared between groups.

resultsA total of 130 patients were finally included. A gradual decrease in hyperemic coronary flow [(Qcor) in mL/min; normal indices: 387±192, isolated epicardial: 278±153, isolated microvascular: 130±41, combined: 96±33; p<0.001] and a progressive increase in total coronary resistance [(RTotal) in Wood units (WU); normal indices: 238±139, isolated epicardial: 373±167, isolated microvascular: 694±210, combined: 999±342; p<0.001] were observed as more compartments were involved. Also, epicardial dysfunction was primarily associated with reduced distal coronary pressure (Pd) and elevated epicardial resistance [(REpi) in WU; normal indices: 25±18, isolated epicardial: 145±113, isolated microvascular: 66±34, combined: 389±282; p<0.001], whereas microvascular dysfunction was characterized by preserved Pd but markedly decreased Qcor and increased microvascular resistance [(RMicro) in WU; normal indices: 213±124, isolated epicardial: 228±73, isolated microvascular: 628±195, combined: 610±137; p<0.001]. Combined dysfunction shares mechanisms of both epicardial and microvascular dysfunction.

conclusionsCoronary endotypes exhibit distinct hemodynamic patterns with specific pressure- and flow-related ischemic mechanisms. Integrated physiological assessment is essential for accurate endotype characterization and personalized therapeutic strategies.
