Association between epicardial adipose tissue density and characteristics of coronary plaques assessed by coronary computed tomographic angiography.

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
To investigate the relationship between the epicardial adipose tissue density (EATD) and the coronary plaque components as assessed by coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA). The study cohort included 240 patients with chest pain or precardiac discomfort (mean age 62.01 ± 7.45 years, 55.83% male). Patients were assigned to the high-risk plaque (HRP) group (n = 133) or non-HRP group (n = 107). All patients underwent CCTA to assess plaque composition, and quantitative analysis of EATD and epicardial adipose tissue volume (EATV). Age, gender, EATV, EATD, diabetes history and family history were all correlated with HRP. There was no linear correlation between EATD and EATV among the subjects (R
