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
Introduction: High-frequency transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TDE) enables the assessment of flow velocity and velocity pattern in different coronary arteries, including the assessment of diastolic deceleration time (DDT) of coronary flow velocity. Short DDT of infarct related artery (IRA) (<600 msec) in the acute phase of anterior myocardial infarction (MI) is the predictor of adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling and prognosis. The significance of DDT of coronary flow velocity assessment in the chronic phase of anterior MI is not well established. Our study aimed to establish the predictors of DDT of the coronary flow velocity of infarct related (left anterior descendent-DDT of LAD) and reference coronary artery, evaluated by TDE, and to assess their relation to infarct size in the chronic phase of successfully reperfused first anterior MI. Methods: Our study included 40 consecutive patients (34 men, mean age 52 ± 12 years) one month after the first anterior STEMI and single vessel disease successfully treated with primary PCI. All patients underwent SPECT MPI for the assessment of LV volumes, ejection fraction, and percentage of the myocardium with fixed perfusion abnormalities and echocardiographic examination including the evaluation of DDT of IRA and reference coronary artery TDE. Results: DDT of LAD correlated significantly to the WMSI ( Conclusion: DDT of LAD assessed by TDE in the chronic phase of successfully reperfused first anterior MI is a usefull variable for the assessment of microcirculatory function that exclusively reflects the extent of microvascular damage and relates to infarct size.
