Characterizing atherosclerotic tissues:
Article in Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Atherosclerosis is a prevalent cause of acute coronary syndromes that consists of lipid deposition inside the artery wall, creating an atherosclerotic plaque. Early detection may prevent the risk of plaque rupture. Nowadays, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is the most common medical imaging technology for atherosclerotic plaque detection. It provides an image of the section of the coronary wall and, in combination with new techniques, can estimate the displacement or strain fields. From these magnitudes and by inverse analysis, it is possible to estimate the mechanical properties of the plaque tissues and their stress distribution. In this paper, we presented a methodology based on two approaches to characterize the mechanical properties of atherosclerotic tissues. The first approach estimated the linear behavior under particular pressure. In contrast, the second technique yielded the non-linear hyperelastic material curves for the fibrotic tissues across the complete physiological pressure range. To establish and validate this method, the theoretical framework employed
