Angiographic Coronary Calcification: A Simple Predictor of Long-Term Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction.
Article in Journal of atherosclerosis and thrombosis, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
aimsCoronary calcification detected by coronary angiography is a simple risk marker for long-term clinical outcomes in stable coronary artery disease. However, the significance of angiographic coronary calcification in the culprit lesion of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has not been fully discussed. The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the usefulness of angiographic coronary calcification as a risk marker for long-term clinical outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention to the culprit lesions of AMI.
methodsWe included 1209 patients with AMI and divided them into the none-mild calcification group (n=923) and the moderate-severe calcification group (n=286) according to angiographic coronary calcification in the culprit lesion of AMI. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), which was defined as a composite of all-cause death, nonfatal MI, readmission for heart failure, and ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization.
resultsThe median follow-up duration was 542 (Q1: 182, Q3: 990) days. A total of 345 MACE were observed during the study period. The occurrence of MACE was significantly greater in the moderate-severe calcification group than in the none-mild calcification group (43.4% vs. 23.9%, p＜0.001). In the multivariate Cox hazard model, moderate-severe calcification was significantly associated with MACE (hazard ratio 1.302, 95% confidence interval 1.011-1.677, p=0.041) after controlling multiple confounding factors.
conclusionsAngiographically moderate to severe calcification in AMI culprit lesion was associated with long-term worse clinical outcomes. Angiographic coronary calcification can be a simple risk marker in patients after AMI.
