Longitudinal association of epicardial and thoracic adipose tissues with coronary and cardiac characteristics in psoriasis.

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: s: Psoriasis is a disease of systemic inflammation associated with increased cardiometabolic risk. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and thoracic adipose tissue (TAT) are contributing factors for atherosclerosis and cardiac dysfunction. We strove to assess the longitudinal impact of the EAT and TAT on coronary and cardiac characteristics in psoriasis. Methods: The study consisted of 301 patients with baseline coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA), of which 139 had four-year follow up scans. EAT and TAT volumes from non-contrast computed tomography scans were quantified by an automated segmentation framework. Coronary plaque characteristics and left ventricular (LV) mass were quantified by CTA. Results: When stratified by baseline EAT and TAT volume quartiles, a stepwise significant increase in cardiometabolic parameters was observed. EAT and TAT volumes associated with fibro-fatty burden (FFB) (TAT: ρ = 0.394, P < 0.001; EAT: ρ = 0.459, P < 0.001) in adjusted models. Only EAT had a significant four-year time-dependent association with FFB in fully adjusted models (β = 0.307 P = 0.003), whereas only TAT volume associated with myocardial injury in fully adjusted models (TAT: OR = 1.57 95 % CI = (1.00-2.60); EAT: OR = 1.46 95 % CI = (0.91-2.45). Higher quartiles of EAT and TAT had increased LV mass and developed strong correlation (TAT: ρ = 0.370, P < 0.001; EAT: ρ = 0.512, P < 0.001). Conclusions: Our study is the first to explore how both EAT and TAT volumes associate with increased cardiometabolic risk profile in an inflamed psoriasis cohorts and highlight the need for further studies on its use as a potential prognostic tool for high-risk coronary plaques and cardiac dysfunction.
