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

Background We aimed to investigate the presence and severity of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) including Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis and to elucidate the influence of surgical resection of the diseased intestines on CMD by assessing coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) using transthoracic Doppler echocardiography. Methods and Results Thirty-seven patients with IBD (aged 44±15 years; 22 patients with Crohn disease and 15 patients with ulcerative colitis) and 30 controls (aged 46±12 years) were enrolled. For CFVR measurement, coronary flow velocity was recorded at rest and during hyperemia by ADP infusion using transthoracic Doppler echocardiography, and CFVR <2.5 defined CMD. CFVR measurement was repeated before and within 1 year after surgery. CFVR was similarly and significantly lower in patients with Crohn disease and those with ulcerative colitis than controls (Crohn disease: 2.92±1.03 [
