Integrated non-invasive approach to atherosclerosis with cardiac CT and carotid ultrasound in patients with suspected coronary artery disease.
Article in La Radiologia medica, 2017. 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
objectiveThe aim of the study was to compare the atherosclerotic disease in the coronary and carotid arteries in patients who underwent non-invasive imaging for suspected stable coronary artery disease (CAD). MATERIALS AND
methods107 patients (64 men, age 59 ± 12) with atypical chest pain underwent cardiac CT (CCT) and carotid ultrasound (US) on the same day. Severity (obstructive or not-obstructive disease), location, shape, and composition of atherosclerotic plaques in the two districts were evaluated.
resultsPatients presented normal coronary arteries in 36 % (n = 38), not-obstructive CAD in 36 % (n = 39), and obstructive CAD in 28 % (n = 30), while had normal carotid arteries in 53 % (n = 57), not-obstructive disease in 44 % (n = 47), and obstructive disease in 3 % (n = 3) (p < 0.05). The coronary plaques were located in 7 % at ostial sites, in 29 % at non-ostial sites, and in 64 % at both locations. The carotid plaques were located at the origin of the internal and external carotid arteries in 56 %, at the bifurcation in 20 %, and at both locations in 24 % (p < 0.05). Coronary plaques were calcified in 25 %, non-calcified in 19 %, and mixed in 56 %; carotid plaques were calcified in 8 %, non-calcified in 8 %, and mixed in 84 % of patients (p < 0.05).
conclusionAtherosclerotic disease presents different imaging findings in the coronary tree and in the carotid district with respect to lesion severity, position along the vessel course, and composition of plaque.
