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

Background: Investigating the importance of exercise tolerance test (ETT) in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) among people with left-sided dominant coronary circulation is very important. Methods: This retrospective study aimed to explore the relevance of ETT in CAD diagnosis by analyzing medical records of 2084 patients who underwent ETT and coronary angiography in Urmia's educational therapeutic hospitals between 2018 and 2019. SPSS Version 16 was used for data analysis. Results: The study included 5.58% males and 5.41% females. The prevalence of co-dominancy was 10.2%, right coronary dominance (RD) was 65%, and left coronary dominance (LD) was 24.8%. There were no significant differences between gender, age, smoking, blood pressure, diabetes mellitus (DM), the prevalence of hyperlipidemia (HLP), family history (FH) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The frequency of non-significant CAD was higher in women than in men. Additionally, the frequency of women with LD was significantly higher than that of men. The results of angiography in normal cases, it was observed that the highest frequency was related to female patients with a history of DM. The sensitivity of the ETT was 94%, and the accuracy and diagnostic power of the exercise test for the presence of CAD in individuals with LD were 53% (p = 0.03). Conclusion: The study highlights the potential for false-positive exercise tests in diabetic individuals with left coronary dominance, providing valuable insights into the nuanced interplay of gender, cardiovascular health, and coronary circulation patterns in CAD risk.
