Trial report in Clinical cardiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00358826 (Clinical Study Protocol No. VIA-2291-01, A Phase 2 Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Placebo-controlled, Dose-ranging Study of the Effect of VIA-2291 on Vascular Inflammation in Patients After an Acute Coronary Syndrome Event), which is not on this map.

1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

backgroundInflammation has a key role in the process of atherosclerosis. Production of leukotrienes by 5-lipoxygenase has been linked to atherosclerotic plaques and cardiovascular events. HYPOTHESIS: In this study, a selective 5-LO inhibitor will slow plaque progression using serial cardiac computed tomographic angiography (CCTA).

methodsPatients with recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS) were prospectively assigned to one of 3 VIA-2291 doses (25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg) or placebo by oral administration. All groups underwent CCTA at baseline and at 6 months' follow-up. Plaque types such as low-attenuation plaque (LAP), fibro-fatty tissue (FF), fibro-calcified plaque (FC), and dense calcium plaque (DC) were measured based upon predefined density threshold, and changes from baseline CCTA were analyzed.

resultsThe final analysis included 54 patients (age, 56 ± 9 years; 85.1% male) with CCTA at baseline and 24 weeks. Evaluating on treatment VIA-2291 (all 3 doses, n = 37) demonstrated significant reductions in plaque progression compared with placebo (n = 17). VIA-2291 significantly reduced LAP (5.9 ± 20.7 mm

conclusionsVIA-2291 resulted in slowed plaque progression compared with placebo across different plaque subtypes in patients with recent ACS (http://ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00358826).
