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

Up to 65% of women and approximately 30% of men have ischemia with no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD; commonly known as INOCA) on invasive coronary angiography performed for stable angina. INOCA can be due to coronary microvascular dysfunction or coronary vasospasm. Despite the absence of obstructive CAD, those with INOCA have an increased risk of all-cause mortality and adverse outcomes, including recurrent angina and cardiovascular events. These patients often undergo repeat testing, including cardiac catheterization, resulting in lifetime healthcare costs that rival those for obstructive CAD. Patients with INOCA often remain undiagnosed and untreated. This review discusses the symptoms and prognosis of INOCA, offers a systematic approach to the diagnostic evaluation of these patients, and summarizes therapeutic management, including tailored therapy according to underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.
