Gender differences in myocardial perfusion defect in asymptomatic postmenopausal women and men with and without diabetes mellitus.
Article in Journal of women's health (2002), 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundTo compare the results of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) of asymptomatic postmenopausal women and age-matched men and to investigate the effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) on gender differences and the risk estimation of coronary heart disease (CHD).
methodsSixty-seven postmenopausal women and 27 men low in Framingham Global Risk Score (FGRS) were recruited from year 2008 to 2009 in northern Taiwan. Each subject underwent blood tests, a cardiopulmonary exercise test, an electrocardiograph (ECG), and MPI.
resultsWomen had similar percentages of predicted oxygen consumption and ECG changes at peak exercise, but lower oxygen pulse and rate-pressure product. They also had significantly higher summed stress score (SSS), summed rest score (SRS), and summed difference score (SDS) than men, despite showing much lower scores for the FGRS than men. Women with DM had a lower 10-year risk of CHD assessed by the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) risk engine, but significantly higher SSS and SDS than men. In the subjects with abnormal MPI, the extent of ischemia was small to moderate in men, whereas in 50% of the women, the extent of ischemia was large.
conclusionThe results of this preliminary study suggest that asymptomatic postmenopausal women had more abnormalities in MPI and those with DM had a higher SSS and SDS than age-matched men. The risk of CAD may still be underestimated by the UKPDS.
