The Role of Carotid and Femoral Plaque Burden in the Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purpose of reviewWith limitations of cardiovascular disease risk stratification by traditional risk factors, the role of noninvasive imaging techniques, such as vascular ultrasound, has emerged as a prominent utility for decision-making in coronary artery disease. A review of current guidelines and contemporary approaches for carotid and femoral plaque assessment is needed to better inform the diagnosis, management, and treatment of atherosclerosis in clinical practice. RECENT
findingsThe recent consensus-based guidelines for carotid plaque assessment in coronary artery disease have been established, supported by some outcomes-based research. Currently, there is a gap of evidence on the use of femoral ultrasound to detect atherosclerosis, as well as predict adverse cardiovascular outcomes. The quantification and characterization of individualized plaque burden are important to stratify risk in asymptomatic or symptomatic atherosclerosis patients. Standardized quantification guidelines, supported by further outcomes-based research, are required to assess disease severity and progression.
