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.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The hemodynamics conditioned by coronary geometry may play an important role in the creation of a pro-atherogenic environment in specific locations of the coronary tree. The aim of this study is to identify how several geometric parameters of the left coronary artery - cross-section areas, proximal left anterior descending artery length, angles between the branches and the septum, curvature and tortuosity - can be related with hemodynamic descriptors, using a computational fluid-structure interaction method. It is widely accepted that the hemodynamic indicators play an important role in identifying possible pro-atherogenic locations. A statistical study, using Pearson correlation coefficient and P value, was performed for a population study of 8 normal human left coronary arteries presenting right-dominant circulation. Within the study cases, arteries with high caliber (r = 0.88), high angles
