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

Aims: We studied the prognostic significance of myocardial ischaemia during exercise stress echocardiography (ExE) in the absence of angiographic evidence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in a contemporary cohort of patients. Methods and results: We retrospectively enrolled 84 patients who underwent ExE and had exercise-induced myocardial ischaemia followed by angiographic coronary evaluation. Fifty-one (61%) patients had non-obstructive CAD (iNOCAD), and 33 (39%) had normal coronaries (iNC). iNC and NOCAD patients were propensity matched to 99 and 153 patients with non-ischaemic ExE, respectively. Compared to iNOCAD, iNC patients were younger (60.9 ± 10.4 vs. 68 ± 8.9 years, Conclusion: Ischaemic ExE in the absence of angiographically obstructive CAD carries an elevated risk of adverse cardiovascular events necessitating medical optimization and close follow-up for progression.
