Study of correlation between epicardial fat thickness and severity of coronary artery disease.
Observational study in Indian heart journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Epicardial fat thickness (EFT) reflects visceral adiposity and is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aimed to assess the correlation of echocardiographic EFT with the severity of CAD and to determine the EFT cut-off to predict CAD. EFT was measured in 503 patients undergoing coronary angiogram. Mean EFT was significantly higher in the CAD group than control group (5.55 ± 1.21 mm vs 3.25 ± 1.15 mm, p < 0.0001). EFT correlated with Gensini score (r = 0.906, p < 0.001). EFT cut-off ≥ 4.75 mm had 87% sensitivity and 63% specificity for prediction of significant CAD (AUC: 0.831, p < 0.001).
