Pericoronary fat attenuation index is associated with plaque parameters and stenosis severity in patients with acute coronary syndrome: a cross-sectional 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: The pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI) is a novel imaging biomarker of coronary inflammation, which is closely related to development and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, there are limited reports on whether elevated pericoronary FAI values from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) were associated with plaque parameters and coronary stenosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We aimed to assessed that FAI helps to identify high risk of CAD. Methods: The clinical diagnosis confirmed to the American Heart Association guidelines for ACS. The lesion-specific pericoronary FAI and plague parameters were measured using QAngioCT software. Using a Hounsfield unit (HU) of -70.1 as the threshold value, lesions with a lesion-specific pericoronary FAI value ≥-70.1 HU were allocated to the FAI-positive group and those with a FAI value <-70.1 HU were allocated to the FAI-negative group. The patients were divided into four stenosis groups according to the coronary angiography (CAG) results, and differences in the FAI values among the four groups were analyzed. Results: A retrospective analysis of 127 ACS patients, including 299 lesions, who underwent CCTA and CAG successively was conducted. The prevalence of vulnerable plaques increased significantly in the FAI-positive group (49.35% Conclusions: The FAI was identified as a novel imaging biomarker of coronary inflammation that is correlated with vulnerable plaque features and stenosis severity.
