Interaction of impaired myocardial flow reserve and extent of myocardial ischemia assessed using

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
backgroundMyocardial flow reserve (MFR) and the extent of myocardial ischemia identify patients at high risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Associations between positron emission tomography (PET)-assessed extent of ischemia, MFR, and MACEs is unclear.
methodOverall, 640 consecutive patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease undergoing
resultsCardiovascular death and MACEs occurred in 17 (3%) and 93 (15%) patients, respectively. Following statistical adjustment for confounding factors, impaired MFR (global MFR < 2.0) was revealed as an independent predictor of MACEs in Groups I (hazard ratio [HR], 2.89; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.48-5.64; P = 0.002) and II (HR, 3.40; 95% CI 1.37-8.41; P = 0.008) but was not significant in Group III (HR, 1.15; 95% CI 0.59-2.26; P = 0.67), with a significant interaction (P < 0.0001) between the extent of myocardial ischemia and MFR.
conclusionImpaired MFR was significantly associated with increased risk of MACEs in patients with ≤ 10% myocardial ischemia but not with those having > 10% ischemia, allowing a clinically effective risk stratification.
