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

backgroundDipyridamole promotes a reduction in blood pressure and an increase in heart rate (HR), considered the normal hemodynamic response to the drug. Data suggest that patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) have an attenuation of this hemodynamic response. This study sought to evaluate the HR response to dipyridamole and its determinants in patients with or without CRF undergoing gated myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography. METHODS AND

resultsConsecutive patients (n = 355, 9.6% with CRF) undergoing rest/dipyridamole myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography were evaluated. The HR response to dipyridamole was considered to be reduced if the HR ratio (maximal HR/rest HR) was 1.20 or less. A logistic regression analysis determined independent predictors of a blunted HR response. A reduced HR response was found in 84.4% of patients with CRF and 40.6% of those without CRF (P < .0001). In patients without CRF the independent predictors of abnormal HR response were hypertension, rest and differential perfusion scores, and left ventricular ejection fraction. In contrast, in CRF patients there was no significant association of any of the studied variables with abnormal HR response.

conclusionsAn abnormal HR response to dipyridamole is frequently found in patients with CRF. Different mechanisms may account for abnormal HR response in patients with or without CRF.
