Article in Clinical cardiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundCoronary microvascular dysfunction is crucial in determining myocardial ischemia; however, the relationship between epicardial coronary diameter stenosis (DS) and the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) remains unclear. We sought to explore the distribution of coronary angiography-derived IMR (angio-IMR) in patients with suspected myocardial ischemia.
methodsThe study included 480 patients with suspected myocardial ischemia, all of whom underwent coronary angiography. According to the severity of coronary DS, patients were divided into three groups: mild (DS < 50%), intermediate (DS 50%-70%), and severe (DS > 70%). Angio-IMR and fractional flow reserve (FFR) were calculated based on coronary angiography images through the principle of computational flow and pressure simulation.
resultsOf the 480 patients, the mean age was 67.23 ± 9.44 years, with 55.4% male. There were 193 (40.2%) patients in the mild group, 189 (39.4%) patients in the intermediate group, and 98 (20.4%) patients in the severe group. The average angio-IMR of the mild group was 30.8 ± 14.9, which was significantly higher than those of the intermediate group (26.7 ± 13.0) and the severe group (17.9 ± 8.4) (p < .001). In the correlation analysis, angio-IMR was negatively correlated with DS (rho = -0.331, p = .001) and positively correlated with angio-FFR (rho = 0.483, p < .001). By multivariate logistic regression analysis, angio-FFR ≤ 0.8 (odds ratio, 0.184; 95% confidence interval, 0.106-0.321) was the only independent predictor of coronary microvascular dysfunction.
conclusionIn patients with suspected myocardial ischemia, coronary microcirculation is significantly associated with morphological and physiological coronary stenosis. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05435898).
