Choroidal vascularity index of patients with coronary artery disease.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
We investigated the changes in subfoveal choroidal thickness and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) and their relationship with the severity of coronary artery stenosis in patients with cardiovascular risk factors and symptoms suggestive of coronary artery disease (CAD). Ninety patients who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) for evaluation of their coronary artery status and cardiac symptoms were included. Forty-two patients showed no evidence of CAD; 31 patients had one to two vessel disease; and 17 had a triple vessel disease. There were no significant differences in the subfoveal choroidal thickness among the three groups; however, the CVI in the triple vessel disease group was lower than those in the other groups. The CVI values were good predictors of the presence of triple-vessel disease (p = 0.020). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results revealed that male sex (odds ratio 5.4, p = 0.049), hypertension (odds ratio 4.9, p = 0.017), and CVI (%, odds ratio 0.8, p = 0.016) were significant factors associated with the presence of triple vessel disease. Although CVI may not be a sensitive marker for detecting early changes in the coronary artery, it may be helpful in indicating severe CAD.
