The risk of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C.

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
introductionThe role of hepatitis C virus in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic disease has been suggested by several studies.
aimTo assess the association between subclinical carotid atherosclerosis and chronic hepatitis C.
methods40 patients infected with chronic hepatitis C and 40 control cases were evaluated by anthropometric and metabolic measurements. The risk of subclinical atherosclerosis was assessed by ultrasound measurement of carotid intima-media thickness. A high cardiovascular risk atherosclerosis was defined by carotid intima-media thickness > 75th percentile.
resultsThe carotid intima-media thickness and the prevalence of high cardiovascular risk atherosclerosis were significantly higher in the group infected with hepatitis C compared to the control group (0.68 VS 0.60, p=0.02) and (82.5% vs. 40%; 0.001) respectively. In multivariate studies, activity ≥ A2 and age> 40 years were the independent factors associated with the carotid intima-media thickness and hepatitis C was the only independent factor associated with high cardiovascular risk atherosclerosis (OR=4.81 CI at 95%: 1.6-14.42).
conclusionsIn our study, chronic hepatitis C was associated with a high risk of carotid atherosclerosis.
