Non-identical yet similar: presentation of coronary artery disease in dizygotic twins.
Article in Cardiovascular diagnosis and therapy, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
There is a considerable debate regarding the role of genetic and the environmental factors in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Since twin pairs are exposed to similar prenatal and postnatal environmental factors, a particular role of genetic vs. environmental factors can be evaluated by investigating the twins. We report a case of a dizygotic twin-pair who presented with simultaneous development of coronary insufficiency, and underwent coronary angiography and stent implantation on the same day. There were striking similarities and differences in certain characteristics between the presenting twins. We believe that the occurrence of CAD might be predetermined genetically, while the location of CAD lesion and its severity might be subjected to the modification of environmental factors among dizygotic twins. Considering the high risk of CAD-related fatal events in monozygotic and dizygotic twins, we recommend aggressive medical surveillance for a twin individual, whose co-twin has reported a cardiac event.
