Pericoronary fat attenuation in stenotic and vulnerable coronary artery plaques: Implications for coronary artery disease and associated conditions.

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: Pericoronary adipose tissue density (PCAT) is a parameter that quantifies inflammation and atherosclerosis around the coronary arteries. Purpose: To investigate the correlation between PCAT and plaque features, stenosis degrees in coronary arteries (LAD, RCA, Cx) with stenotic vulnerable plaques. Material and methods: A Retrospective study including 103 patients (64M, 39F) who underwent coronary computed tomography was retrospectively examined at a single center. PCAT and high-risk plaques were measured independently and compared to stenosis and coronary artery type. Adipose tissue attenuation, ranging from -180 to -25 HU, was measured along the plaque's length and in a 0.5-1 mm region around the perilesional coronary arteries. Results: The PCAT values increases with the degree of stenosis in the LAD, Cx, and RCA (r = 0.9161, Conclusion: The combined evaluation of plaque features, stenosis degree, and PCAT provides a more accurate prediction of possible acute coronary syndrome cases than analyzing stenosis degree alone.
