Role of nuclear cardiology in diagnosis and risk stratification of coronary microvascular disease.
Review in Journal of nuclear cardiology : official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Coronary flow reserve (CFR) with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has an important role in the diagnosis of coronary microvascular disease (CMD), aids risk stratification and may be useful in monitoring therapy. CMD contributes to symptoms and a worse prognosis in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), nonischemic cardiomyopathies, and heart failure. CFR measurements may improve our understanding of the role of CMD in symptoms and prognosis in CAD and other cardiovascular diseases. The clinical presentation of CAD has changed. The prevalence of nonobstructive CAD has increased to about 50% of patients with angina undergoing angiography. Ischemia with nonobstructive arteries (INOCA) is recognized as an important cause of symptoms and has an adverse prognosis. Patients with INOCA may have ischemia due to CMD, epicardial vasospasm or diffuse nonobstructive CAD. Reduced CFR in patients with INOCA identifies a high-risk group that may benefit from management strategies specific for CMD. Although measurement of CFR by PET/CT has excellent accuracy and repeatability, use is limited by cost and availability. CFR measurement with single-photon emission tomography (SPECT) is feasible, validated, and would increase availability and use of CFR. Patients with CMD can be identified by reduced CFR and selected for specific therapies.
