Sample Preparation of Atherosclerotic Plaque for SAXS/WAXS Experimentation.
Article in ACS omega, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Atherosclerosis is often described as a single disease entity; however, the morphology of each plaque is unique to the individual. The field currently lacks a technique that can discriminate stable from unstable plaques, to identify those at risk of a thromboembolic event. Small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) holds the potential to be able to identify key materials present in a plaque, such as cholesterol species, collagen, low-density lipoproteins (LDLs), and hydroxyapatite. Protocols have been established for the preparation of excised human atherosclerotic tissue that are investigated herein. This includes the fixing, sectioning, and substrate selection of the sample. Through several sample preparation methods, vast improvements have been made to sample-to-noise ratio and background subtraction.
