Effects of different statins application methods on plaques in patients with coronary atherosclerosis.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundDiscontinued application of statins may be related to adverse cardiovascular events. However, it is unclear whether different statins administration methods have effects on coronary artery plaques.
aimTo evaluate the effects of different statins application methods on plaques in patients with coronary atherosclerosis.
methodsA total of 100 patients diagnosed with atherosclerotic plaque by coronary artery computed tomography were continuously selected and divided into three groups according to different statins administration methods (discontinued application group,
resultsThe volume change and rate of change of the most severe plaques were significantly reduced in the sustained application group (
conclusionContinuous application of statins is effective for controlling plaque progression, whereas discontinued or intermittent administration of statins is not conducive to controlling plaques. Only with continuous statins administration can a reduction in LDL-C levels result in plaque volume shrinkage.
