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

Caffeine is a non-selective antagonist at the adenosine receptors, which is expected to reverse both the intended (coronary vasodilation) and unintended (hypotension, flushing) effects of exogenously administered adenosine and adenosine-related compounds. In the past, several studies were conducted to characterize the effect of caffeine on vasodilator myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with conflicting results. However, new evidence supports earlier observations and shows that recent caffeine intake attenuates vasodilator-induced myocardial hyperaemia and may therefore reduce the sensitivity of radionuclide MPI for the detection of inducible perfusion abnormality in patients with coronary artery disease. Although the magnitude of this effect and hence its clinical significance are dose dependent, the acute response to equivalent doses of caffeine varies largely among individuals, and this might be explained by differences in caffeine exposure and genetically determined variations in caffeine metabolism. Abstinence from caffeinated foods and beverages for a minimum of 12 hours before vasodilator stress is therefore recommended although longer abstention might be required in order to prevent the potentially blocking effect of residual caffeine on vasodilator-mediated actions.
