Review in Current cardiology reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06557811 (Effect of Oral Semaglutide on Epicardial and Pericoronary Adipose Tissues in Type 2 Diabetes After Myocardial Infarction), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers.

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.

2 · The registry

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

purpose of reviewDespite the recent advancements in diagnostic modalities and therapeutic options available, the pathophysiology of pericardial syndromes remains poorly understood. In this review article, we explore the possible links between cardiac adiposity and pericardial syndromes. RECENT

findingsOver the last years, the notion of cardiac adipose tissue has radically changed, and its pivotal role in myocardial diseases has been acknowledged. Recent evidence suggests a cross-talk between epicardial fat and the heart. Imaging of epicardial and pericardial adipose tissue has an independent predictive/prognostic value in cardiovascular disease. Recent data suggests that imaging of epicardial adipose tissue may also provide prognostic information on the clinical course of patients with acute pericarditis. Evidence from clinical and translational studies suggests possible links between epicardial fat and pericardial diseases, which need to be further explored. Epicardial adipose tissue could have a role both as a prognostic biomarker in pericardial syndromes and as potential therapeutic target for pericardial diseases. The findings of future research in the field are eagerly anticipated.
