Review in Drugs, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Chronic stable angina pectoris refers to the predictable, reproducible occurrence of pressure or a choking sensation in the chest or adjacent areas caused by myocardial ischemia in association with physical or emotional stress, and cessation of exertion and or sublingual nitroglycerin invariably relieves the discomfort. It is a common presenting symptom of severe narrowing of one or more coronary arteries, non-obstructive coronary arteries, or even when the coronary arteries are angiographically normal. Patients often avoid activities which precipitate symptoms and have impaired quality of life. Most patients with angina pectoris can be managed with lifestyle changes, especially abstinence from smoking and regular exercise, and anti-anginal drugs. However, the choice of initial or combination antianginals as recommended in the guidelines is not evidence based. In addition, patients with stable angina due to coronary artery disease should also receive aspirin and a statin. Treatment of patients with angina and normal coronary arteries remains to be established. The aim of this article is to provide the readers not only with a guideline-based approach, which varies from one country to another, but also an individual-based approach, which takes into consideration circulatory status and the presence or absence of comorbidities in the treatment decision-making process. This manuscript primarily deals with drug therapy of stable angina pectoris and not coronary artery revascularization, which also provides angina relief but is usually reserved for patients who fail to respond to adequate drug therapy.
