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
Introduction: Morbidity related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading epidemiological problem. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) can be regarded as a surrogate marker for cardiovascular disease. Lipid-lowering agents such as statins have proven to reduce future risk and promote regression of atherosclerotic plaques. Aim: To relate long-term high-dose statin therapy to CIMT in a retrospective analysis of patients presenting with preserved ejection fraction heart failure (HFpEF). Material and methods: There were 77 (47 female and 30 male) consecutive patients with a median age of 69 (62-75) years admitted to the Hypertension and Internal Medicine Department presenting with preserved ejection fraction heart failure symptoms in NYHA class 2.0 (0.5) for clinical evaluation in 2024. Laboratory tests, echocardiography, carotid ultrasound, and cine angiography were performed. The possible relation between CIMT and patients' characteristics was evaluated. Results: The multivariable model indicated possible relations between CIMT above 0.8 mm and obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m Conclusions: The results from the retrospective single-measurement analysis on long-term statin therapy may indicate the relation between CIMT and rosuvastatin (at least 20 mg/day) or atorvastatin (at least 40 mg/day) administration. Long-term statin therapy is associated with a reduced likelihood of having CIMT above 0.8 mm, although the presented results are statin-type and dosage-dependent.
