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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to determine the relationship between vasodilatation-induced ischemia and poststress glucose uptake. Coronary vasodilators may induce myocardial ischemia due to coronary steal through collateral circulation or transmural blood flow redistribution with diminished subendocardial perfusion. Myocardial ischemia can be demonstrated by increased glucose uptake as previously shown in patients with exercise-induced ischemia. METHODS AND

resultsWe studied 11 patients with single-vessel disease and no history of myocardial infarction. Five patients had no collateral circulation, and 6 had angiographic evidence of collateral vessels. We measured myocardial blood flow (MBF) and glucose uptake at baseline and after the administration of dipyridamole (0.56 mg/kg) with positron emission tomography, using O-15 water and fluorine 18 deoxyglucose (FDG) as perfusion and glucose tracers. MBF at baseline was 0.82 +/- 0.13 mL/g/min in normal areas and 0.80 +/- 0.15 mL/g/min in areas supplied by stenotic arteries. MBF during dipyridamole was 2.05 +/- 0.66 and 1.19 +/- 0.66 mL/g/min in normal areas and areas with stenotic arteries, respectively (P < or = .001). FDG uptake at baseline was 1.36 +/- 0.55 in normal areas and 1.57 +/- 0.62 in areas supplied by stenotic arteries. FDG uptake after dipyridamole infusion was 1.79 +/- 1.1 and 4.04 +/- 0.84 in normal areas and areas with stenotic arteries, respectively (P < or =.001). MBF and FDG uptake were not different between patients with collateral circulation and those without collateral circulation.

conclusionsIncreased myocardial glucose uptake was consistently observed after dipyridamole administration in those areas with diminished coronary vasodilatory capacity. The similar MBF and FDG findings in patients with and without collateral circulation may indicate that transmural blood flow redistribution appears to be a possible mechanism of dipyridamole-induced myocardial ischemia.
