Association between coronary microvascular dysfunction and exercise capacity in dilated cardiomyopathy.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular magnetic resonance : official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundAerobic exercise capacity is an independent predictor of mortality in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), but the central mechanisms contributing to exercise intolerance in DCM are unknown. The aim of this study was to characterize coronary microvascular function in DCM and determine if cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) measures are associated with aerobic exercise capacity.
methodsProspective case-control comparison of adults with DCM and matched controls. Adenosine-stress perfusion CMR to assess cardiac structure, function and automated inline myocardial blood flow quantification, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing to determine peak VO
resultsSixty-six patients with DCM (mean age 61 years, 47 male) were propensity-matched to 66 controls (mean age 59 years, 47 male) based on age, sex, body mass index, and diabetes. DCM patients had markedly lower peak VO
conclusionIn comparison to controls, DCM patients have lower stress myocardial blood flow and MPR. In DCM, MPR, LV ejection fraction, and fibrosis are independently associated with aerobic exercise capacity.
