The association of coronary non-calcified plaque loading based on coronary computed tomography angiogram and adverse cardiovascular events in patients with unstable coronary heart disease-a retrospective cohort study.

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 computed tomography angiogram (CCTA) has the characteristics of non-invasive, high resolution, and can accurately determine the characteristics of tubular wall plaques. The non-calcified plaque loading of the coronary arteries is unstable and prone to shedding, leading to adverse cardiovascular events. However, few studies focused on the predictive value of non-calcified plaque loading for adverse cardiovascular events in patients with unstable coronary heart disease (CHD). The present study was conducted to investigate the association of coronary non-calcified plaque loading based on CCTA and adverse cardiovascular events in patients with unstable CHD. Methods: A total of 206 patients with unstable CHD were collected and followed up for 1 year. The patients were divided into an observation group (n=56) and a control group (n=150) according to whether adverse cardiovascular events occurred or not. We analyzed the predictive value of coronary artery non-calcified plaque loading for adverse cardiovascular events in unstable CHD using receiver operating characteristic and multivariate logistics regression analysis. Results: Compared with the control group, the non-calcified plaque volume in the observation group was increased (160.10±44.02 Conclusions: Increased non-calcified plaque volume in patients with unstable CHD is associated with the development of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with unstable CHD.
