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
Background N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is used to diagnose acute and chronic heart failure, but many studies show a strong and independent correlation between NT-proBNP serum levels and the severity and number of coronary artery damage. Meanwhile, the serum of high-sensitivity Troponin T (hs-Troponin T) has a very high prognostic value for the degree of coronary artery damage in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The SYNTAX score was developed to better predict the risks of percutaneous or surgical revascularization by considering the functional impact of the coronary circulation with all of its anatomic components, such as the presence of bifurcations, total occlusions, thrombus, calcification, and small vessels. Therefore, we conducted this study to understand the role of NT-proBNP and hs-troponin T in SYNTAX score evaluation in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Methodology A cross-sectional descriptive study of 86 patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome with indications for coronary angiography and intervention in the Department of Emergency and Interventional Cardiology, Cardiovascular Center, Hue Central Hospital, was conducted from June 2020 to May 2022. Results The mean age was 66.94 ± 10.61 years. The concentrations of NT-proBNP and hs-Troponin T in our study were 1115.9 ± 1623.3 pg/mL and 0.86 ± 1.55 ng/mL, respectively. The mean SYNTAX score in the study was 16.5 ± 7.5. There was a positive moderate correlation between the mean levels of NT-proBNP and the degree of coronary artery damage, as indicated by the SYNTAX score (
