Clinical and imaging characteristics of cardiac magnetic resonance presenting with myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries in China.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe characteristics are still unclear due to lack of systematic research on patients with myocardial infarction non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) in China. This study aimed to explore the clinical and imaging features of MINOCA patients.
methodsThe patients who were diagnosed as suspected MI were studied. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) was performed after coronary angiography or coronary computed tomographic angiography examination within one week. Myocardial infarction (MI) was determined by late gadolinium enhancement CMR.The patients with MI were divided into MINOCA and MICAD group according to whether the degree of coronary stenosis was greater than 50%. Cardiac function and imaging characteristics between the two groups were analyzed.
results21 patients with MINOCA and 30 patients with myocardial infarction with obstructive coronary artery disease (MICAD) were analyzed. MINOCA patients were younger, and the electrocardiogram was commonly featured by non-ST-elevation. The parameters of left ventricular function were significantly different between the two groups including left ventricular ejection fraction, stroke volume, cardiac output, myocardial mass, and peak ejection rate (P < 0.05). Besides, MINOCA patients had smaller area of MI, less score of transmural extent, fewer involved segments. Furthermore, the transmural extent of MI in MINOCA patients was mainly grade I, that is, most of them were subendocardial MI, which was significantly negatively correlated with the amount of first-pass perfusion.
conclusionsThe clinical characteristics combined with imaging features of CMR may be effective to evaluate the cardiac function in order to make clinical decision for MINOCA patients in China.
