Relation between aortic elasticity parameters and SYNTAX score in postmenopausal diabetic women.

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
backgroundPostmenopausal women are at increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). Diabetes Mellitus is a major risk factor for CAD. The stiffening of the aorta is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We aimed to investigate the relation of aortic elasticity parameters to CAD severity assessed by SYNTAX score (SS) in diabetic postmenopausal women. The study prospectively included 200 consecutive diabetic postmenopausal women with CAD who underwent elective coronary angiography. Patients were classified into 3 groups based on SS, low-SS ≤ 22, intermediate-SS ≥ 23- ≤ 32, and high-SS ≥ 33. Echocardiographic aortic elasticity parameters, including aortic stiffness index (ASI), aortic strain (AS) (%) and aortic distensibility (AD) were obtained in all patients.
resultsPatients in the high SS group were older age and had a higher aortic stiffness. After adjusting different co-variates AD, AS, and ASI could be used as independent predictors of high SS with the following P-values (0.019, 0.016 and 0.010) and cut-off values (2.5, 3.6 and 2.9), respectively.
conclusionsIn diabetic postmenopausal women, the simple echocardiography-derived aortic elasticity parameters might predict the severity and complexity of angiographic coronary lesions assessed by the SS.
