Influence of patients' coronary artery calcium on subsequent medication use patterns.
Article in American journal of health behavior, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesTo determine whether information on the presence and extent of coronary artery calcium (CAC) is associated with the likelihood of physicians' prescribing preventive therapies.
methodIn a longitudinal design, asymptomatic participants (N=510) were evaluated by computed tomography for CAC. Changes to medications were at the discretion of the patient's primary care provider, who received the CT report.
resultsIn multivariable analysis, the likelihood of patients reporting that their primary care physician prescribed preventive therapies was significantly associated with the presence and extent of CAC.
conclusionsThis study suggests that physicians' prescribing practices are influenced by patients' CAC scores obtained via CT.
