Coronary calcium: new insights, recent data, and clinical role.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Calcium artery calcium (CAC) scoring has become an integral part in the era of preventive cardiology, it has been extensively studied and been validated as a powerful tool for cardiovascular risk assessment in conjunction with other traditional well established scoring systems such as Framingham risk score. In addition, CAC testing has found its way into emergency department algorithms assessing low to intermediate risk patients presenting with chest pain, this strategy was recently adopted by the UK NICE guidelines, confidently ruling out cardiac origin of chest pain. Several studies have demonstrated that risk assessment using CAC was motivational to patients leading to better adherence to their preventive practices as well as to medications. Accordingly, this test has several recommendations for use by national and international guidelines.
