Ubiquitous atherosclerosis in coronary arteries without angiographically significant stenosis.
Article in Heart and vessels, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Previous intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) studies have shown coronary artery atherosclerosis even in angiographically normal reference segment. However, IVUS has not been performed in all of the three major coronary arteries. A total of 50 patients with single-vessel disease underwent IVUS evaluation in the proximal two-thirds of the three major coronary arteries. Lumen and external elastic membrane cross-sectional areas were measured at 1-mm intervals. To compensate the difference in pullback length among coronary arteries, normalized total plaque and media volume (TPV) was calculated as TPV/number of slices in pullback x median number of slices in study population. Percent plaque and media volume (PPV) was calculated as TPV/Sigma external elastic membrane cross-sectional area x 100. A cross section was defined as atherosclerotic if maximum intimal thickness exceeded 0.5 mm at any point in the vessel circumference. There was no significant difference in normalized TPV, PPV, and the incidence of abnormal intimal thickness between coronary arteries with and without significant stenosis. Frequency distribution of plaque burden was similar. Atherosclerosis is ubiquitous even in coronary arteries without angiographically significant stenosis. The extent of atherosclerosis is similar between coronary arteries with and without significant stenosis.
