Regression and Stabilization of Coronary Vulnerable Plaque by Evolocumab as Assessed by Multidetector Row Computed Tomography.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 65-year-old man was followed for his coronary conditions using 320-multi detector row computed tomography (MDCT) for 30 months. He had soft plaque in the right coronary artery (RCA) [mean density of plaque was 22 hounsfield units (HU)]. His initial serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was 72 mg/dL. After 30 months, his serum LDL-C was 26 mg/dL under 5.0 mg/day rosuvastatin and evolocumab 140 mg/2 weeks. MDCT showed a regression of the plaque in the RCA and the plaque density was 114 HU (intermediate plaque). In conclusion, intensive lipid-lowering therapy with evolocumab induced the regression and stabilization of coronary vulnerable plaque.
