Correlations between the abdominal fat-related parameters and severity of coronary artery disease assessed by computed tomography.

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
backgroundObesity is considered a challenging public problem, which has been proven to be closely associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). Each risk factor of CAD has been separately studied many times in the past, but very few have comprehensively and quantitatively evaluated the relationship between the abdominal fat-related parameters and severity of CAD. The aim of this study was to analyze whether the abdominal fat-related parameters were associated with severity of CAD using abdominal non-enhanced computed tomography (NECT).
methodsPatients who went through both abdominal NECT and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) were included and retrospectively analyzed. The abdominal fat-related parameters [the ratio of visceral adipose tissue to subcutaneous adipose tissue (VAT/SAT ratio)] and traditional cardiovascular risk factors were evaluated in the participants with or without obstructive CAD. The correlations between the abdominal fat-related parameters and severity of CAD were assessed, and the multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the parameters that could be used to predict the severity of CAD.
resultsA total of 223 consecutive subjects (obstructive CAD group, n=117; non-obstructive CAD group, n=106) were analyzed. The VAT/SAT ratio was significantly higher (0.95±0.33
conclusionsVAT/SAT ratio, NAFLD, and AAC score are correlated with the severity of CAD, indicating their characteristics of being independent risk factors for O-CAD, irrespective of the traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Those CT-derived parameters may make positive contributions to the differentiation of the patients with increased risk of O-CAD.
