1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 2019 ESC guidelines redefined stable coronary artery disease as chronic coronary syndrome (CCS), highlighting the dynamic nature of this disease. This condition is characterized by the gradual accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques in the epicardial coronary arteries. CCS can result in myocardial ischaemia due to supply-demand mismatch, often triggered by physical or emotional stress. The clinical course may be abruptly interrupted by plaque rupture or erosion, leading to acute coronary syndromes. Revolutionary advances in non-invasive imaging have transformed the chronic coronary syndrome diagnosis algorithm and management. Coronary computed tomography angiography provides detailed anatomical insights, identifying high-risk plaques with features like low attenuation and positive remodelling, as evidenced by SCOT-HEART, which reported reduced coronary events (HR: 0.59,
