A comparison between the principal stress direction and collagen fiber orientation in coronary atherosclerotic plaque fibrous caps.
Article in Medical & biological engineering & computing, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The rupture of coronary atherosclerotic plaque fibrous caps has been associated with acute myocardial infarctions. Collagen fibers, the main structural component of vascular tissue, have been observed to change orientation and align themselves with the principal stress direction. This study compared the principal stress direction in stenosed coronary arteries obtained from 3D fluid-structure interaction simulations to the orientation of collagen fibers in the fibrous cap of human specimens. The principal stress direction at the peak of the stenosis was found to be axially oriented and correlated well with the determined orientation of the collagen fibers in the fibrous cap specimens.
