Correlation between carotid and/or subclavian atherosclerotic plaque and coronary atherosclerotic disease.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 AND
aimThe present study aimed to analyze the correlation between carotid atherosclerotic plaque (CAP) and/or subclavian atherosclerotic plaque (SAP) and coronary atherosclerosis disease (CASD).
methodsA total of 1343 patients hospitalized for chest pain or tightness due to coronary atherosclerotic disease and underwent initial coronary angiography (CAG) were evaluated by color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) for CAP and SAP. The patients were divided into four groups: non-CAP & non-SAP, only-SAP, only-CAP, or CAP & SAP. Finally, 1,242 patients were included in this study.
resultsThe incidence of CASD and main coronary artery disease in the CAP & SAP group was higher than that in the CAP-only group. Moreover, the detection rate of three-vessel disease (3-VD) in the CAP & SAP group was significantly higher than that in the CAP group (p < 0.05). The incidence of main coronary artery branch lesions in patients with CAP & SAP was approximately 1.5 times higher than in those with only CAP. Male gender, hypertension, and diabetes were independent risk factors for main coronary artery branch lesions. If the patient had CAP & SAP lesions and more than three cardiovascular disease risk factors, coronary artery main artery disease incidence was about 81.7%
conclusionBased on the CDFI screening and combined with cardiovascular disease risk factors, the combined evaluation of CAP and SAP showed higher CASD prediction values than the CAP group alone. Early detection of coronary atherosclerotic stenosis and timely clinical intervention is expected to reduce the incidence of ischemic heart disease events caused by coronary atherosclerotic stenosis.
