Imaging the myocardial microcirculation post-myocardial infarction.
Review in Current heart failure reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
The myocardial microcirculation provides the vital pressure control and metabolic homeostasis for normal muscle function. Microvascular dysfunction is implicated in chronic cardiac disease and can signify higher risk, but its effect in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can be profound. Modern management of AMI is focussed entirely on timely epicardial coronary patency, but as a result can leave microcirculatory devastation in its wake. The 'no-reflow' phenomenon occurs in up to 40 % of those successfully reperfused following an ST-elevation AMI (STEMI), and reflects significant microvessel injury that at its most severe involves both microvascular obstruction (MVO) and intramyocardial haemorrhage. Myocardial contrast echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging have both led the field in establishing MVO as the prime determinant of adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling, LV dysfunction, heart failure and increased mortality. These imaging techniques will be essential to support future research endeavours and shift focus to the maintenance of microvascular flow in AMI.
