Matching between regional coronary vasodilator capacity and corresponding circumferential strain in individuals with normal and increasing body weight.

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.
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
backgroundTo define the relationship between regional coronary vasodilator capacity and myocardial circumferential strain at rest in normal weight, overweight, and obese individuals with normal global left-ventricular function. METHODS AND
resultsMyocardial blood flow at rest and during pharmacologic vasodilation was measured with (13)N-ammonia PET/CT in mL/g/minute in normal weight control (CON, n = 12), overweight (OW, n = 10), and obese individuals (OB, n = 10). In addition, resting myocardial function was evaluated as circumferential strain (Єc, %) by MRI. Global myocardial flow reserve (MFR) did not differ significantly between CON and OW (2.98 ± 0.96 vs 2.70 ± 0.66, P = .290), whereas it declined significantly in OB (1.98 ± 1.04, P = .030). Further, global Єc (%) was comparable between CON, OW, and OB (-0.24 ± 0.03, -0.23 ± 0.02, and -0.23 ± 0.04) but it was lowest in OB when normalized to the rate-pressure product (NЄc: -0.31 ± 0.06, -0.32 ± 0.05, and -0.26 ± 0.08). When MFR of the three major coronary territories was correlated with corresponding Єc, a positive association was observed in CON (r = 0.36, P = .030), in OW (r = 0.54, P = .002), and also in OB when relating NЄc to coronary vascular resistance during pharmacologic vasodilation (r = -0.46, P = .010).
conclusionsHigher coronary vasodilator capacity is related to corresponding regional circumferential strain at rest in non-obese individuals, while this is also observed for reduced MFR in obesity.
