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

Endothelial dysfunction is the earliest abnormality in the development of coronary atherosclerosis. Several coronary risk factors adversely affect endothelial function. Therefore, a finding of endothelial dysfunction may guide interventions for preventing the development of future cardiovascular events. The non-invasive aspects and coronary specificity of measurements of myocardial blood flow (MBF) using positron emission tomography (PET) with sympathetic stress make it widely applicable for the evaluation of endothelial function. PET MBF measurements with sympathetic stress have been applied to a variety of subjects with coronary risk factors and have been shown to have value for risk assessment in these subjects. Endothelial measurement using PET remains an ideal research tool for the study of the pathophysiology of several cardiac diseases. PET is also well suited for the acute and longitudinal evaluation of treatment. Thus, the continued development of this approach for the evaluation of new treatment effects should be expected.
