Intracoronary Thrombogenicity in Patients with Vasospastic Angina: An Observation Using Coronary Angioscopy.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 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
backgroundDespite significant interest in intracoronary thrombi in patients with vasospastic angina (VSA), the phenomenon remains unclarified. Therefore, we investigated a possible relationship using coronary angioscopy (CAS) in VSA patients.
methodsSixty patients with VSA, for whom we could assess the spastic segment using CAS, were retrospectively studied. An intracoronary thrombus on CAS was a white thrombus and an erosion-like red thrombus. We verified the clinical characteristics and lesional characteristics as they determined the risk of intracoronary thrombus formation.
resultsThere were 18 (30%) patients with intracoronary thrombi. More of the patients with intracoronary thrombi were male, current smokers and had severe concomitant symptoms; however, no statistically significant difference was observed upon logistic regression analysis. There were 18 (26%) coronary arteries with intracoronary thrombi out of 70 coronary arteries recognised in the spastic segments. Furthermore, atherosclerotic changes and segmental spasms were significant factors responsible for such lesions.
conclusionIntracoronary thrombi occurred in 30% of VSA patients and much attention should be paid to the intracoronary thrombogenicity of VSA patients.
