Comparison of the Left Main Coronary Bifurcating Angle among Patients with Normal, Non-significantly and Significantly Stenosed Left Coronary Arteries.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
We evaluated the correlation of the left main coronary bifurcating angle (LCBA) with the severity of coronary atherosclerosis, risk factors of coronary artery disease (CAD) and the feasibility of measuring the LBCA using the axial plane. Coronary Computed tomography angiographies (CTAs) of 313 patients between Nov. 2006 and Oct. 2013 were reviewed and separated into three groups. Group I (211 patients) had significant stenosis (≥50%) of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) and/or left circumflex coronary artery (LCX). Group II (62 subjects) had atherosclerosis without significant stenosis. Group III (40 subjects) had unremarkable coronary CTAs. Both Group I and II patients received conventional catheter angiography to confirm the severities of coronary stenoses. Significant differences were found among the groups with respect to risk factors, such as male gender, hypertension and body mass index. Axial plane measurement was feasible in most patients (82.1%), without significant differences among the groups. The mean LCBA was 84.7° among all patients, and significantly differed among groups I, II and III (87.34°, 81.16° and 75.53°, P < 0.001). The LCBA of group I was significantly higher than group III (P < 0.001) in univariate analysis, but insignificant in multivariate analysis (P = 0.064).
