Prevalence of left internal mammary artery disease in patients undergoing coronary angiography for suspected coronary artery disease: A meta-analysis and meta-regression study.

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
Left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to bypass left anterior descending artery has demonstrated to improve survival in multivessel coronary artery disease, but its routine angiography during index coronary angiography is seldom performed as LIMA is rarely diseased. A systematic literature review and meta-analysis was conducted using PubMed and Cochrane databases selecting the studies reporting prevalence of LIMA disease among patients undergoing coronary angiography and considered for CABG. Meta-regression analysis was performed to evaluate the prevalence of LIMA disease and the relative predictive value of canonical risk factors. After scrimmage, 9 studies for a total of 1365 patients were included. LIMA disease prevalence was 1.8 % (95 % CI; 1.2 %-2.8 %) in the entire cohort, whereas we reported a rate of subclavian artery disease of 7.6 % (95 % CI, 6-9.9 %). At univariate meta-regression analysis, only age (
