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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveThe myocardial demand-supply feedback system plays an important role in augmenting blood supply in response to exercise-induced increased myocardial demand. During this feedback process, the myocardium and coronary blood flow interact bidirectionally at many different levels.
methodsTo investigate these interactions, a novel computational framework that considers the closed myocardial demand-supply feedback system was developed. In the framework coupling the systemic circulation of the left ventricle and coronary perfusion with regulation, myocardial work affects coronary perfusion via flow regulation mechanisms (e.g., metabolic regulation) and myocardial-vessel interactions, whereas coronary perfusion affects myocardial contractility in a closed feedback system. The framework was calibrated based on the measurements from healthy subjects under graded exercise conditions, and then was applied to simulate the effects of graded exercise on myocardial demand-supply under different physiological and pathological conditions.
resultsWe found that the framework can recapitulate key features found during exercise in clinical and animal studies. We showed that myocardial blood flow is increased but maximum hyperemia is reduced during exercise, which led to a reduction in coronary flow reserve. For coronary stenosis and myocardial inefficiency, the model predicts that an increase in heart rate is necessary to maintain the baseline cardiac output. Correspondingly, the resting coronary flow reserve is exhausted and the range of heart rate before exhaustion of coronary flow reserve is reduced. In the presence of metabolic regulation dysfunction, the model predicts that the metabolic vasodilator signal is higher at rest, saturates faster during exercise, and as a result, causes quicker exhaustion of coronary flow reserve.
conclusionsModel predictions showed that the coronary flow reserve deteriorates faster during graded exercise, which in turn, suggests a decrease in exercise tolerance for patients with stenosis, myocardial inefficiency and metabolic flow regulation dysfunction. The findings in this study may have clinical implications in diagnosing cardiovascular diseases.
