Relation of plaque size to compositions as determined by an in vivo volumetric intravascular ultrasound radiofrequency analysis.

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
As the plaques have enlarged, the changes in specific plaque compositions have not been sufficiently investigated. We evaluated the relation of plaque size to each plaque component (fibrotic, fibrofatty, dense calcium, and necrotic core) in 244 patients with volumetric virtual histology intravascular ultrasound analysis. Plaque volume was significantly correlated with fibrotic volume (r = 0.886, P < 0.001), necrotic core volume (r = 0.716, P < 0.001), fibrofatty volume (r = 0.572, P < 0.001), and dense calcium volume (r = 0.382, P < 0.001). There was a weak correlation between plaque volume and percentage of fibrofatty plaque and dense calcium (r = 0.140, P = 0.030 and r = -0.146, P = 0.023, respectively). Plaque volume was not significantly correlated with percentage of fibrotic plaque and necrotic core. As the plaque volume increased, there was an increase in absolute amounts of each plaque component (fibrotic > necrotic core > fibrofatty > dense calcium). However, there were no significantly relevant correlations between plaque volume and percentage of each plaque component.
