A retrospective single-centre study on determinants of high-risk coronary artery calcium (CAC) score in women.

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
One of the assessments for coronary atherosclerosis during cardiac computed tomography (CT) is coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring. We conducted analysis on the determinants of high-risk coronary calcification, represented by CAC score, among women as a step to improve their outcomes and prognosis. This study involved a total of 1,129 female patients from a single centre. There were 127 patients (11.2%) classified as high risk (CAC ≥400). We found that a history of hypertension and diabetes are independent determinants of having a high-risk CAC score. Furthermore, this study demonstrated protective effects associated with physical activity and diastolic blood pressure. In conclusion, a history of hypertension, diabetes, and high uncontrolled systolic blood pressure might be used as cues for physicians to prioritise CAC assessment in women, despite the absence of chest pain or atypical symptoms.
