Layered Plaque in Organic Lesions in Patients With Coronary Artery Spasm.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Background Coronary artery spasm plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of coronary plaques. We sought to investigate the plaque characteristics of co-existing organic lesions in patients with coronary artery spasm in comparison to those without coronary artery spasm by intracoronary optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods and Results We included 39 patients who presented with a symptom suspected of coronary spastic angina and had an organic lesion, defined as ≥plaque burden of 50% assessed by OCT. Coronary artery spasm was diagnosed by positive acetylcholine provocation test, or by spontaneous spasm detected during coronary angiography. A total of 51 vessels with an organic lesion were identified. Of these, coronary artery spasm was observed in 30 vessels (spasm), while not in 21 vessels (non-spasm). Organic lesions in the spasm vessels, compared with those in the non-spasm vessels, had a higher prevalence of layered plaque (93% versus 38%,
