Association of Coronary Microvascular Rarefaction and Myocardial Fibrosis With Coronary Artery Disease.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTo evaluate, in a cohort study, whether coronary microvasculature and myocardial structure differ between people with and without coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS AND
resultsWe performed histological analysis of left ventricle free wall obtained at autopsy from 25 men and 23 women with ≥1 coronary artery with ≥75% area stenosis, and 25 men and 25 women without (no or minimal) CAD, matched for sex and age, who died suddenly from noncardiac causes. Decedents with myocardial infarction or other cardiac abnormality were excluded. Decedents with and without CAD had similar height and weight. Heart weight of decedents with CAD was higher than that of decedents without CAD (mean, 391 versus 364 g; mean difference, 27 g [95% CI, 0.3-54.0],
conclusionsCAD was associated with coronary microvascular rarefaction and increased myocardial fibrosis. The association of CAD with coronary microvascular rarefaction and increased myocardial fibrosis may contribute to the increased risks of death, myocardial infarction and heart failure that accompany CAD, and may attenuate the impact of percutaneous coronary intervention on cardiovascular risk in people with stable angina.
