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

The relationship between vascular-specific epicardial adipose tissue (vEAT) volume and myocardial ischemia measured by fractional flow reserve (FFR) was not well investigated. Patients with typical and atypical chest pain undergoing coronary computed tomographic angiography scan followed by invasive coronary angiography in combination with FFR examination within one month were retrospectively included. EAT volume and CT attenuation was calculated. The patient with FFR ≤ 0.8 in at least one vessel was referred to as functional ischemia. The mean age of all patients was 61.7 ± 8.9 years and 66.7% of patients were male. There was a significant difference for left anterior descending branch (LAD) vEAT volume between patients with and without functional myocardial ischemia (28.7 ± 10.6 cm
