Angiographic patterns of coronary artery disease in young patients presenting at a tertiary cardiac center.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences. 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 compare the patterns of coronary artery disease (CAD) between young adults ≤35 years of age and patients >35 years of age. Methods: The observational retrospective study was carried out in angiography department of emergency at Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore between January 2020 and October 2020. Patients ≤35 years old were in Group-I whereas patients >35 years who served as controls were in Group-II. Patients with unstable angina, non-ST and ST elevation MI all were included. The patients with previous history of CAD (CABG/PCI) and angiography done for other purposes i.e., before valvular surgery or PPM implantation were excluded. Results: Out of 1268 patients, 552 were in Group-I and 716 were in Group-II. The prevalence of normal coronaries/ mild CAD was higher in Group-I i.e., 224(40.6%) than in Group-II i.e., 64 (8.9%). Single vessel disease (SVD) was comparable in both the groups 185 (33.5%) vs. 216 (30.2%). Double vessel disease and triple vessel disease (TVD) was common in Group-II and left main stem (LMS) involvement was also significantly higher in Group-II i.e., 32 (4.5%) vs. 8 (1.4%). Clot in coronary arteries with or without underlying CAD was seen more frequently in Group-I, 61(11.1%) vs. 34 (4.7%). Presence of clot was seen mostly in those patients who had moderate coronary artery disease. Conclusion: Young patients have different coronary artery disease patterns, so the management strategy must be different in this population. Majority of the young patients have non severe disease. Clot formation is commonly seen in young adults with moderate CAD.
