The Use of Subclinical Atherosclerosis Imaging to Guide Preventive Cardiology Management.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 the reviewClinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) requires years to manifest, providing a window of opportunity for preventive cardiovascular management. Subclinical atherosclerosis imaging leverages this long latency period to estimate and improve future ASCVD risk. RECENT
findingsCoronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring has the most robust data in the detection of subclinical atherosclerosis. CAC scan significantly enhances cardiovascular risk stratification in addition to traditional risk models. Coronary computed tomography angiography data show similar strengths in subclinical atherosclerosis detection in addition to plaque morphology characterization with inherent limitations. Carotid intima-media thickness and ankle-brachial index are other modalities whose predictive value becomes incremental when added to the aforementioned modalities. When added to traditional risk models, subclinical atherosclerosis imaging modalities personalize future ASCVD risk stratification and assist in the initiation and rate of intensification of preventive therapies. Emerging imaging techniques exist but further research is required for primetime clinical use.
