Prevalence of Coronary Artery Ectasia with Atherosclerosis and Associated Risk Factors in the West of Iran: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of research in health sciences, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundAccording to the angiographic findings, 3%-8% of atherosclerotic coronary artery patients suffer from coronary artery ectasia (CAE). We conducted this study to estimate the prevalence of CAE among patients who underwent angiography and compared this group with those patients without CAE and atherosclerosis in terms of common coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors.
methodsThis cross sectional study was conducted in Hamadan Province, western Iran, from March 2014 to March 2015. Data were collected from angiography evaluation and clinical records in Ekbatan Hospital. The patients with atherosclerosis who had CAE were compared with patients who had neither CAE nor atherosclerosis. The categorical variables were compared using chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test.
resultsOf 2767 patients who underwent coronary angiography, 166 (6.0%) had CAE with atherosclerosis, 2357 (85.2%) had atherosclerosis without CAE, and 244 (8.8%) had normal coronary artery. Compared to normal group, CAE patient were more hypertensive and smoker. Besides, in CAE group the proportion of dyslipidemia was higher than normal subject.
conclusionsThe prevalence of CAE in Hamadan Province was in the expected level. Distribution of common CHD risk factors were most prevalent in CAE patient in comparison with normal coronary artery group.
