Association of bowel and tear suppression with coronary artery disease: A case control study.
Article in Journal of Ayurveda and integrative medicine. 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
backgroundCoronary Artery disease (CAD) accounts for one-third or more of all deaths in individuals over 35 years of age. In Ayurveda, umbrella term Hrdroga encompasses the concept of CAD. Vegadharana, suppression of natural urges is a lifestyle error that has been denoted as a potential risk factor of Hrdroga, but there is a lacuna of convincing research works.
objectiveThe present study is designed to assess and evaluate the association of Purisavegadharana, Baspavegadharana (bowel, tear suppression) with CAD. MATERIALS AND
methodsStudy followed case-control design; Cases (110) were patients aged above 18 years of either sex, diagnosed with CAD in a duration less than or equal to 10 years, attending outpatient department (OPD) of an Allopathy and Ayurveda hospital. The controls (110) included hospital controls from same hospitals. Exposure status was assessed through Case Record Form (CRF), Bowel suppression and Tear suppression assessment Questionnaires, interview with patients and scrutiny of past medical records. Odds ratios and chi-square tests were computed. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves of logistic regression models fitted were generated and optimal cut-off points for bowel and tear suppression scores were derived through Youden index.
resultsTear suppression and bowel suppression showed odds ratio of 4.47 and 2.30 respectively. Other commendable predisposing factors were age above 60 years, family history of disease and use of medication. Highest odds ratio from logistic regression was for palpitation (8.67) and followed by tobacco use (6.23).
conclusionStudy indicated high association of bowel and tear suppression with CAD along with other predisposing factors, prominent of which were palpitation and use of tobacco use.
