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
backgroundWe aim to evaluate the relationship between quantitative plaque characteristics detected by dual-source computed tomography angiography (DSCTA) and myocardial ischemia as assessed by single photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT-MPI).
methodsIn this study, 460 consecutive patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) underwent DSCTA and stress/rest SPECT-MPI, and 179 patients with coronary artery plaques were quantitatively analyzed. Quantitative coronary artery plaque measurements including total plaque volume, the volume of non-calcified plaque, calcified plaque volume, low-density noncalcified plaque volume, total plaque burden, calcified plaque burden, non-calcified plaque burden, low-density non-calcified plaque (LDNCP) burden, remodeling index, plaque length, maximum diameter stenosis were provided by the automated software (Release 5.6.5, Circle Cardiovascular Imaging, Canada). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the correlation between quantitative plaque characteristics and myocardial ischemia to determine if plaque characteristics were independent of clinical risk factors and significant CAD.
resultsOne hundred and seventy-nine patients (65% males) with suspected-CAD, undergoing DSCTA and stress/rest SPECT-MPI and single vessel ischemia were considered. There were significant correlations between quantitative assessment of plaque features and myocardial ischemia with details as follow: total plaque volume [25.2 (17.8-37.8)
conclusionsQuantitative plaque characteristics detected by DSCTA are independently correlated with the incidence of myocardial ischemia by SPECT-MPI in patients with suspected CAD.
