Characterizing Nonculprit Lesions and Perivascular Adipose Tissue of Patients Following Acute Myocardial Infarction Using Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography: A Comparative Study.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThe comparison of coronary computed tomography angiography plaques and perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) between patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) posttreatment and patients with stable coronary artery disease is poorly understood. Our objective was to evaluate the differences in coronary computed tomography angiography-quantified plaque and PVAT characteristics in patients post-AMI and identify signs of residual inflammation. METHODS AND
resultsWe analyzed 205 patients (age, 59.77±9.24 years; 92.20% men) with AMI ≤1 month and matched them with 205 patients with stable coronary artery disease (age, 60.52±10.04 years; 90.24% men) based on age, sex, and cardiovascular risk factors. Coronary computed tomography angiography scans were assessed for nonculprit plaque and vessel characteristics, plaque volumes by composition, high-risk plaques, and PVAT mean attenuation. Both patient groups exhibited similar noncalcified plaque volumes (383.35±313.23 versus 378.63±426.25 mm
conclusionsPatients post-AMI displayed heightened noncalcified plaque components, largely due to fibrofatty and necrotic core content, more high-risk plaques, and increased PVAT mean attenuation on a per-patient level, highlighting the necessity for refined risk assessment in patients with AMI after treatment.
