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

Vasoreactivity testing is used by cardiologists in the diagnosis of coronary spasm endotypes, such as epicardial and microvascular spasm. Intracoronary injection of acetylcholine and ergonovine is defined as a standard class I method according to the Coronary Vasomotion Disorder (COVADIS) Group. Because single vasoreactivity testing may have some clinical limitations in detecting the presence of coronary spasm, supplementary or sequential vasoreactivity testing should be reconsidered. The majority of cardiologists do not consider pseudonegative results when performing these vasoreactivity tests. Vasoreactivity testing may have some limitations when it comes to documenting clinical spasm. In the future, cardiologists around the world should use multiple vasoreactivity tests to verify the presence or absence of epicardial and microvascular spasms in the cardiac catheterisation laboratory.
