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

Coronary slow flow (CSF) is delayed distal contrast transit on angiography without flow-limiting stenosis; disturbed sleep may impair vascular control through autonomic, endothelial, inflammatory, and metabolic pathways. We evaluated Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)-based sleep quality in relation to TIMI frame count (TFC)-defined CSF. This cross-sectional study enrolled 307 adults with nonobstructive coronary arteries undergoing angiography for chest pain; PSQI referenced the preceding month, and CSF was defined by corrected TFC > 27 frames in any major vessel; 132 participants had CSF and 175 normal flow. Global PSQI score was higher in CSF (median 7.0 vs. 5.0) and poor sleep quality (score > 5) was more frequent (75.8% vs. 49.7%; both
