Coronary calcification compared in patients with acute versus in those with chronic coronary events by using dual-sector spiral CT.
Article in Radiology, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02418884 (The Impact of Rosuvastatin on the Density Score of Coronary Artery Calcification in CAD Patients With Diabetes Mellitus), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
purposeTo compare underlying calcific atherosclerotic lesions in acute versus chronic coronary events in patients with hypertension by using dual-sector spiral computed tomography (CT). MATERIALS AND
methodsEight hundred eighty-four calcific lesions were analyzed in a cohort of 50 patients (39 men, 11 women; age range, 55-79 years; mean age, 66 years +/- 6 [SD]) with hypertension who sustained a coronary event during 3-year follow-up. All underwent dual-sector spiral CT within 12 months before the event. Twenty-nine patients had an acute event (acute group): acute myocardial infarction, 20; unstable angina pectoris, six; acute ischemia, two; sudden death, one. Twenty-one patients had chronic manifestations of obstructive coronary disease (chronic group): severe stable angina, five; angiographically identified disease, 12; disease requiring angioplasty, two; and disease requiring bypass surgery, two. To examine differences between the two study groups, the chi(2) or Fisher exact test was applied to categorical parameters and the two-sample t test or Wilcoxon rank sum test to quantitative parameters.
resultsHigh prevalence of coronary calcium (total coronary calcium score [TCS] >0) was observed in both groups: 93% (27 of 29) in the acute and 95% (20 of 21) in the chronic group. There were 518 lesions in the chronic and 366 in the acute group, with a median number of 35 and nine lesions per patient, respectively (P <.001). The median TCS was 906 for the chronic and 63 for the acute group (P <.01).
conclusionA mild degree of calcification characterizes patients with acute coronary events, while diffuse high-attenuation calcific plaques are associated with chronic coronary events.
