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

Background: From the Fukuoka University Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (FU-CCTA) registry, we present major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in hypertensive patients who have undergone CCTA, and the association between MACEs and the Gensini score of coronary arteries or the coronary artery calcification (CAC) score. Methods: Of the patients who underwent CCTA for coronary artery disease (CAD) screening at Fukuoka University Hospital, 318 hypertensive patients who had at least one cardiovascular risk factor or suspected CAD were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups: MACEs and non-MACEs groups. The severity of atherosclerosis of coronary arteries was assessed by the Gensini score. The CAC score was also defined by computed tomography (CT) images at the time of CCTA. A primary endpoint was MACEs (all-cause death, ischemic stroke, acute myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization). The patients were followed for up to 5 years. Results: The patients were 68 ± 10 years, and 50% were males. The percentages of smoking, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease were 39%, 70%, 26% and 37%, respectively. The %males, %smoking, CAC score and Gensini score in the MACEs group were significantly higher than those in the non-MACEs group. On the other hand, the differences in age, dyslipidemia, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease between the groups were not seen. A multivariate analysis was performed regarding the presence or absence of MACE by logistic regression analysis of the CAC score or Gensini score in addition to conventional risk factors as independent variables. A Cox regression analysis revealed significant relationships for both the CAC score (P = 0.043) and the Gensini score (P = 0.008). Conclusions: The CAC score and the Gensini score could predict MACEs in hypertensive patients who have undergone CCTA.
