Multicenter Evaluation of Myocardial Flow Reserve as a Prognostic Marker for Mortality in
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Myocardial flow reserve (MFR), measured by PET MPI, provides valuable information on epicardial coronary disease, diffuse atherosclerosis, and microvascular function. Despite its routine use, the prognostic efficacy of Methods: We considered patients from five sites in the REFINE PET registry who underwent Results: In total, 6277 patients were included (mean age of 64 years, 56% male). Median follow-up time was 3.8 years. There were 1895 patients with MFR ≤2 and 4382 with MFR >2. Patients with MFR ≤2 had significantly higher mortality than those with MFR >2 (n=701 [37.0%] vs. n=537 [12.3%], respectively; p<0.001). Annualized ACM rates by MFR and SSS ranged from 1.7 to 11.6. In multivariable analysis, MFR ≤2 was independently associated with increased ACM in the overall population (HR 2.70, 95% CI 2.41-3.03, p<0.001), even among patients with no perfusion defects (HR 2.36, 95% CI 1.93-2.89; p<0.001). Mortality risk decreased across increasing MFR deciles ranging from HR 2.73 (95% CI 2.39-3.11) to HR 0.35 (95% CI 0.25-0.49). Conclusion: In this large multicenter cohort, MFR derived from
