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
introductionCoronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a method of choice in treatment of diffuse coronary artery disease (CAD), although it has some limitations such as late saphenous vein graft (SVG) patency loss, which occurs in one fifth of all conduits at 5 years. Since atherosclerosis in SVG has diffuse characteristics, it appears that significantly and non-significantly stenosed lesions may have an equal impact on worse prognosis.
aimTo assess non-significant lesions of SVG by the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and investigate the clinical and laboratory findings with the potential impact on plaque composition. MATERIAL AND
methodsTwenty-nine patients with 43 non-significant lesions were enrolled in the study. All variables were assessed using uni- and multivariable logistic regression analysis with each plaque morphology as a dependent variable. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were computed.
resultsPlaque rupture (PRT) was independently associated with age (OR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.09-2.04,
conclusionsAtherosclerosis of SVG is not restricted to significantly stenosed lesions. Plaque composition is independently associated with different types of clinical and laboratory findings, mostly recognized as risk factors of CAD.
