Microvascular Angina Diagnosed by Absolute PET Myocardial Blood Flow Quantification.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
purpose of reviewThe aim of this review is to provide an update on the use of positron emission tomography (PET) with myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantification for the diagnosis and management of patients with microvascular disease. RECENT
findingsIt is now recognized that a large proportion of patients with classical angina and non-obstructive epicardial disease are suffering from microvascular angina. Microvascular angina shares several key features with epicardial coronary disease, including many risk factors. Clinical criteria for the diagnosis of microvascular angina were recently proposed and PET imaging is called to play a central role in evaluation of these patients. Indeed, PET allows non-invasive measurements of MBF and flow reserve, which are altered in microvascular dysfunction. Furthermore, PET with flow quantification provides independent prognostic information and has the potential to monitor response to therapy in microvascular disease. PET with MBF quantification allows detection of microvascular dysfunction and plays a key role in the investigation of patients with suspected microvascular angina.
