Mechanisms of Coronary Artery Spasm.
Review in European cardiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Recent clinical trials have highlighted that percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with stable angina provides limited additional benefits on top of optimal medical therapy. This has led to much more attention being paid to coronary vasomotion abnormalities regardless of obstructive or non-obstructive arterial segments. Coronary vasomotion is regulated by multiple mechanisms that include the endothelium, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), myocardial metabolic demand, autonomic nervous system and inflammation. Over the years, several animal models have been developed to explore the central mechanism of coronary artery spasm. This review summarises the landmark studies on the mechanisms of coronary vasospasm demonstrating the central role of Rho-kinase as a molecular switch of VSMC hypercontraction and the important role of coronary adventitial inflammation for Rho-kinase upregulation in VSMCs.
