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

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease remains a worldwide epidemic and one of the leading causes of death nowadays. Vessel wall imaging can be used to understand the development and progression of atherosclerosis, but it is rarely done because of the high cost. We recently identified the Osteoarthritis Initiative, a large prospective cohort study of knee osteoarthritis, which might serve as a valuable source for atherosclerosis research with its serial knee magnetic resonance imaging data. We have found that these images are suitable for vessel wall image analysis of the lower extremity arteries. Here, we will introduce the Osteoarthritis Initiative data set and explain why it could be used for cardiovascular research purposes. Also, we will briefly comment on peripheral artery atherosclerosis as it is covered in the Osteoarthritis Initiative image data set and review the use of vessel wall imaging for studying atherosclerosis. We think data mining of imaging studies, not originally designed on cardiovascular research, can not only maximize the value of the imaging data set but also boost our understanding of atherosclerosis.
