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

Purpose: This retrospective study aimed to investigate the epicardial fat volume in cardiac computed tomography (CT), its relationship with cardiac arrhythmias, and its correlation with the coronary artery disease reporting and data system (CAD-RADS) score. Material and methods: Ninety-six patients who underwent CT coronary angiography (CTCA) were included in this study. Patient data, including demographic information, clinical history, and imaging data were collected retrospectively. Epicardial fat volume was quantified using a standardised algorithm, the CAD-RADS scoring system was applied to assess the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD). Descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and receiver operating characteristics methods were used. Results: The study found a significant correlation between epicardial fat volume and CAD-RADS score ( Conclusions: In this study a volume of at least 123 cm
