Association of Epicardial Fat Volume With Increased Risk of Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease in Chinese Patients With Suspected Coronary Artery Disease.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers.
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 Epicardial adipose tissue may be associated with the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD), but its effect on obstructive CAD risk is uncertain. Therefore, we aimed to examine the relationship between epicardial adipose tissue and obstructive CAD in Chinese patients with suspected CAD. Methods and Results The present study enrolled 194 consecutive inpatients with suspected CAD who underwent both noncontrast computed tomography and coronary angiography. We measured epicardial fat volume (EFV) and evaluated its association with obstructive CAD, which was defined as coronary stenosis severity ≥70%. Overall, 44.3% patients had obstructive CAD and tend to have higher EFV. Age, body mass index, triglycerides, incidence of hypertension, and hyperlipidemia were higher across tertiles of EFV (
