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

A common clinical conundrum presents itself in the discordance between nuclear stress testing and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in the patient presenting with angina. A patient with an abnormal perfusion scan and "normal coronary angiography" may result in the patient's symptoms being dismissed as "non-cardiac." Alternatively, a patient with a "normal perfusion study," who nonetheless undergoes ICA and is found to have significant coronary artery disease may confound efforts to risk stratify and potentially treat patients with angina. This paper will review the current evidence to explain these apparent paradoxical scenarios.
