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

Whilst a correlation has been established between wide left main coronary artery bifurcation [left anterior descending-left circumflex (LAD-LCx)] angle (>80°) and the development of coronary artery disease (CAD), this retrospective, causal-comparative pilot study aimed to explore whether a relationship exists between right coronary artery (RCA)-aorta angle and CAD. Thirty normal cases were identified via radiology reports and selected as the control group with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) scans performed on a 320-slice computed tomography (CT) scanner. Thirty CAD cases were selected with invasive coronary angiography performed to confirm the degree of stenosis, and CCTA performed on dual source and 320-slice CT scanners. An independent sample
