Effect of inflammation on association between cancer and coronary artery disease.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundCancer and coronary artery disease (CAD) is reported to often co-exist in same individuals, however, whether cancer is directly associated with anatomical severity of CAD is rarely studied. The present study aimed to observe the relationship between newly diagnosed cancer and anatomical severity of CAD, moreover, to investigate effect of inflammation on the relationship of cancer with CAD.
methods374 patients with newly diagnosed cancer who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) were enrolled. Through 1:3 propensity score matching (PSM) to cancer patients based on the age and gender among 51,106 non-cancer patients who underwent CAG, 1122 non-cancer patients were selected as control patients. Anatomical severity of CAD was assessed using SYNTAX score (SXscore) based on coronary angiographic image. SXscore ≤ 22 (highest quartile) was defined as SX-low, and SXscore > 22 as SX-high. The ratio of neutrophil to lymphocyte count (NLR) was used to describe inflammation level. Association between cancer and the anatomical severity of CAD was investigated using logistic regression.
resultsUnivariate logistic regression analysis showed a correlation between cancer and anatomical severity of CAD (OR: 1.419, 95% CI: 1.083-1.859; P = 0.011). Cancer was associated with increased risk of SX-high after adjusted for common risk factors of CAD (OR: 1.598, 95% CI: 1.172-2.179, P = 0.003). Significant association between cancer and SX-high was revealed among patients with high inflammation (OR: 1.656, 95% CI: 1.099-2.497, P = 0.016), but not among patients with low inflammation (OR: 1.530, 95% CI: 0.973-2.498, P = 0.089).
conclusionsCancer was associated with severity of CAD, however, the association between the two diseases was significant among patients with high inflammation rather than among patients with low inflammation.
