Reference values of normal abdominal aortic areas in Chinese population measured by contrast-enhanced computed tomography.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: To generate reference values of the normal areas of the abdominal aorta at various levels among Chinese people and to explore the factors that may promote the expansion of the abdominal aorta. Methods: The areas of normal abdominal aortas were gauged at various levels based on inner-to-inner measurements in 1,066 Chinese adult patients (>18 years) without the abdominal aortic disease. The areas of subphrenic abdominal, suprarenal abdominal, infrarenal abdominal, and distal abdominal aortas were measured. The demographic and clinical characteristics were collected into a specifically designed electronic database. Multivariable linear regression was used to analyze the potential risk factors promoting the expansion of the abdominal aorta. Results: In males, the median areas of the subphrenic abdominal aorta, suprarenal abdominal aorta, infrarenal abdominal aorta, and distal abdominal aorta were 412.1, 308.0, 242.2, and 202.2 mm Conclusion: The abdominal aortic areas at different levels were larger in males than in females. Aging, hypertension, and smoking prompt the expansion of abdominal aorta.
