Extensive carotid atherosclerosis and the diagnostic accuracy of coronary risk calculators.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05758779 (Coronary CT Screening of Patients With Familial Hypercholesterolemia - The Prevalence of Subclinical Atherosclerosis in Familial Hypercholesterolemia in the Region of Southern Denmark), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Preventive therapy in primary care is guided by risk thresholds for future cardiovascular events. We aimed to assess whether the sensitivity of various risk calculators for the detection of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis (TPA80) could be improved by lowering risk thresholds in younger age groups. We compared sensitivity, specificity, and discriminatory performance of SCORE, SCORE-HDL, PROCAM, AGLA, FRAM and PCE coronary risk calculators to detect total plaque area > 80 mm2 (TPA80), a coronary risk equivalent, in age groups 40-55, 56-65, 66-75 from Germany (DE,
