Expression of adipocytokines in heart fat depots depending on the degree of coronary artery atherosclerosis in patients with coronary artery disease.
Observational study in PloS one, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
In coronary artery disease (CAD) the adipocytokine content in the heart fat depot is altered, but it has not been established whether these changes are associated with the degree of atherosclerotic damage to the coronary artery (CA). Were examined 84 patients with CAD, and according to the degree of atherosclerotic state based on the SYNTAX Score scale, were divided: 39 moderate (≤22 points), 20 severe (23-31 points) and 25 extremely severe (≥32 points). Biopsies of subcutaneous (SAT), epicardial (EAT) and perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) were obtained during elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The expression of adipocytokine was determined using real-time PCR. The concentration of the studied adipocytokines in adipocyte culture medium was measured by ELISA. Statistical analysis was performed using logistic regression analysis. In the adipocytes of the cardiac depot of patients with CAD, an increase in the expression and secretion of leptin and IL-6 and a decrease in adiponectin, with a maximum manifestation in severe and extremely severe CA lesions, was observed. EAT adipocytes were characterized by minimal expression of the adiponectin gene maximal gene expression leptin and IL-6 compared to SAT and PVAT adipocytes.
