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

Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a distinct adipose depot located between the myocardium and the visceral pericardium. It is distinct from other visceral adipose tissue due to its anatomical position, vicinity to the heart, and its unique secretomic profile. EAT is increasingly recognized for its association with cardiovascular events and is being investigated as a therapeutic target for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This review provides an overview of the anatomy and physiology of EAT, discusses different imaging techniques for EAT assessment, explores the association between EAT and CVDs, and also describes its clinical application as a biomarker and potential therapeutic target.
