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

Insulin resistance (IR) is now considered to be a risk factor for coronary arterial atherosclerosis and is likely to be involved in a limited endothelium-dependent vasodilatory function in peripheral circulation. We investigated whether IR impairs endothelial vasodilator function in the noninfarcted coronary artery. In 14 nondiabetic patients (10 males, 66 +/- 6 years) who were selected from 214 patients underwent IR evaluation by glucose clamp, a Doppler flow wire was used to measure coronary flow changes (percent volume flow index, %VFI) during intracoronary administration of papaverin (10 mg) and stepwise administration of acetylcholine (Ach; 1, 3, 10 microg/ml per minute) into the non-infarcted left circumflex coronary artery. Insulin resistance was comparatively evaluated by an euglycemic hyperinsulinemic glucose clamp (M value, mg/m(2) per minute) or by a 75g-oral glucose tolerance test (120-min immunoreactive insulin; 120' IRI, pmol/l). Eight patients (57%) were defined as having IR on the basis of results obtained by both the glucose clamp method (M values <167 mg/m(2) per minute) and 120' IRI (>384 pmol/l). There was no difference between papaverin-induced %VFI increases in IR and non-IR subjects (328% +/- 43% vs. 361% +/- 87%). However, IR subjects showed significantly lower Ach-induced %VFI increases in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05), especially when low (1 microg/ml per minute) and moderate (3 microg/ml per minute) doses of Ach were used (165% +/- 18% or 248% +/- 29% in non-IR subjects vs. 130% +/- 20% or 183% +/- 41% in IR subjects, P < 0.001, respectively). Moreover, %VFI increase at a low dose of Ach infusion significantly correlated with M values or 120' IRI ([%VFI Ach 1 microg] = 85.9 + 0.35 [M values], r = 0.58, P = 0.038; [%VFI Ach 1 microg] = 176.8 - 0.47.[120' IRI], r = -0.57, P = 0.035). Insulin resistance limits endothelium-dependent coronary vasodilation in association with the severity of IR in non-diabetic patients.
