Association of Epicardial Adipose Tissue Adipocytes Hypertrophy with Biomarkers of Low-Grade Inflammation and Extracellular Matrix Remodeling in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease.
Article in Biomedicines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The aim of the study was to compare the morphological features of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) adipocyte with the circulating inflammatory biomarkers and parameters of extracellular matrix remodeling in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). We recruited 42 patients with CAD (m/f 28/14) who were scheduled for coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). EAT adipocytes were obtained by the enzymatic method from intraoperative adipose tissue samples. Concentrations of secreted and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (sPLA2 and LpPLA2), TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), MMP-2, C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-I), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) were measured in blood serum. Patients were divided into two groups: group 1-with mean EAT adipocytes' size ≤ 87.32 μm; group 2-with mean EAT adipocytes' size > 87.32 μm. Patients of group 2 had higher concentrations of triglycerides, hsCRP, TNF-α, and sPLA2 and a lower concentration of CTX-I. A multiple logistic regression model was created (R
