Correlation of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and carotid plaques with coronary artery disease in elderly patients.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 aim of this study was to explore the correlation of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and carotid plaques with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). A total of 140 patients with angina who underwent coronary angiography were selected and divided into a single-vessel disease group (n=11), double-vessel disease group (n=18), multi-vessel disease group (n=71) and control group (n=40). Color Doppler ultrasound was applied to measure the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) and carotid bifurcation, and to record the location and number of carotid plaques. The serum hs-CRP level was also determined. Compared with the control and single-vessel disease groups, the multi-vessel disease group showed significantly higher IMT of the CCA (P<0.05). The serum hs-CRP level was highest in the multi-vessel disease group (P<0.01). The hs-CRP level and carotid plaque characteristics were found to correlate closely with the severity of CAD. Therefore, they may be used to improve the prediction of CAD severity in elderly patients.
