Parallel comparison of risk factors between progression of organic stenosis in the coronary arteries and onset of acute coronary syndrome by covariance structure analysis.
Article in PloS one, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundIt is widely accepted that progression of organic stenosis in the coronary arteries and onset of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are similar in the development of atherosclerosis. However, the extent of the association of each risk factor with the respective pathological conditions has not been fully elucidated.
objectivesWe investigated the differences in risk factors between these conditions using a statistical procedure.
methodsThe study population consisted of 1,029 patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). We divided the study population into two groups (ACS and non-ACS) and by diseased vessels (organic stenosis). Covariance structure analysis was simultaneously performed in one equation model for determination and comparison of the risk factors for organic stenosis and ACS.
resultsThe analysis revealed that age (standardized regression coefficient, β: 0.206, P < 0.001), male gender (β: 0.126, P < 0.001), HbA1c level (β: 0.109, P < 0.001), HDL level (β: -0.109, P < 0.001) and LDL level (β: 0.127, P = 0.002) were significant for the advancement of organic stenosis. HDL level (β: 0100, P = 0.002) and MDA-LDL level (β: 0.335, P < 0.001) were significant for the onset of ACS, but age, HbA1c and LDL (P = NS or β < 0.1, respectively) were not. Among the risk factors, age, HbA1c and LDL were significantly more strongly associated with organic stenosis than ACS, while MDA-LDL was significantly more strongly associated with ACS than organic stenosis.
conclusionsThe current statistical analysis revealed clear differences among the risk factors between the progression of organic stenosis and the onset of ACS. Among them, the MDA-LDL level should be considered to indicate a substantial risk of ACS.
