Is Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Increased in Adults With Congenital Heart Disease?
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Background Because of the increasing numbers of congenital patients surviving into adulthood, early diagnosis and prevention of acquired cardiovascular disease is reasonable. The aim of this study was to detect diagnostic subgroups of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) that have increased carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), a subclinical marker of cardiovascular damage. Methods and Results This study enrolled 831 ACHD patients (392 women, aged 38.8±11.7 years) from May 2015 to February 2019 at their regular outpatient visit. Far wall cIMT was measured using a semiautomatic ultrasound system at 4 angles. Age, sex, height, weight, blood pressure, smoking status, and antihypertensive medication were registered and entered in a multiple linear regression model to compare diagnostic subgroups to 191 healthy controls (111 women, aged 36.7±13.5 years). There were no significant differences in cIMT of ACHD (0.538±0.086 mm) compared with healthy controls (0.541±0.083 mm;
