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

Objective: Assessing the impact of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) on the plaque burden of coronary atherosclerosis is our objective. Methods: In this study, a total of 212 patients (age 46-80 years) with unstable angina (UA) who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) in our hospital from January 2018 to July 2022 due to UA were included. Patients were divided into LDH group ( Results: Patients with LDH had higher Gensini scores ( Conclusion: LDH is an independent risk factor for the higher coronary plaque burden. Evolocumab treatment significantly reduced the occurrence of cardiovascular events in LDH patients with higher plaque burden. Additionally, our data indicate that LDH is associated with increased blood lipid, which may contribute to the development of plaque burden.
