1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a major cause of ischemia with no obstructed coronary arteries. Objectives: The authors sought to assess protein biomarker signature for CMD. Methods: We quantified 184 unique cardiovascular proteins with proximity extension assay in 1,471 women with angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease characterized for CMD by coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) by transthoracic echo Doppler. We performed Pearson's correlations of CFVR and each of the 184 biomarkers, and principal component analyses and weighted correlation network analysis to identify clusters linked to CMD. For prediction of CMD (CFVR < 2.25), we applied logistic regression and machine learning algorithms (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, random forest, extreme gradient boosting, and adaptive boosting) in discovery and validation cohorts. Results: Sixty-one biomarkers were correlated with CFVR with strongest correlations for renin (REN), growth differentiation factor 15, brain natriuretic protein (BNP), N-terminal-proBNP (NT-proBNP), and adrenomedullin (ADM) (all Conclusions: CMD was associated with pathways particularly involving inflammation (interleukin 6), blood pressure (REN, ADM), and ventricular remodeling (BNP/NT-proBNP) independently of clinical risk factors. Model prediction improved with biomarkers, but prediction remained moderate.
