Vulnerable plaque imaging-current techniques.
Review in Journal of cardiovascular translational research, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Tremendous progress has been made over the past 30 years in the management of plaque rupture and acute coronary thrombosis. With the advent of new interventional cardiac techniques and concomitant advances in medical therapy, there has been a steady decline in cardiovascular mortality. Acute coronary syndromes, especially ST elevation myocardial infarction, still occur frequently and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. As these events typically occur in lesions without severe pre-existing stenosis, interest has increased in identifying these "vulnerable plaques" and ultimately preventing myocardial infarction. Recently, several new invasive and non-invasive modalities have been developed to identify and better characterize vulnerable plaque. This review will cover the pathobiology of vulnerable plaque, current invasive and non-invasive imaging techniques, tissue characterization, and future applications of this exciting technology.
