Insulin resistance is a major determinant of myocardial blood flow impairment in anginal patients.
Article in European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeIn patients with chest pain, stress-induced myocardial perfusion abnormalities are often the result of depressed myocardial blood flow (MBF) reserve. We investigated the relative contribution of cardiovascular risk factors and coronary atherosclerosis to MBF abnormalities in anginal patients.
methodsWe studied 167 patients with typical (n = 100) or atypical (n = 67) chest pain who underwent quantitative evaluation of MBF by PET at rest and after dipyridamole infusion, and quantitative coronary angiography (invasive or by 64-slice CT). Patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction (ejection fraction <45 %) were excluded. Coronary atherosclerosis of ≥50 % was defined as obstructive.
resultsAt rest median MBF was 0.60 ml min
conclusionIn patients with chest pain and normal LV systolic function, IR, male gender and coronary atherosclerosis are independent and additive determinants of impaired hyperaemic MBF.
