1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

South Asian (SA) individuals, particularly those that reside in the United States and other Westernized countries, are at an elevated risk for ASCVD and mortality related to ASCVD. The 2018 ACC/AHA/Multi-society Cholesterol guideline listed SA as a high-risk ethnicity, underscoring the importance of treating modifiable risk factors to reduce ASCVD burden. Coronary artery calcium (CAC), a highly specific marker of subclinical atherosclerosis, may be a useful test to improve risk stratification among SA individuals. CAC testing is a cost-effective, highly reproducible, and specific marker of subclinical atherosclerosis, shown to improve ASCVD risk assessment across all racial/ethnic groups, thereby serving as a guide for initiating or deferring preventive therapies. In this White Paper we will discuss the use of CAC scoring to optimize risk stratification and delivery of preventive therapies to individuals of SA ethnicity.
