Prevalence of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis and association with coronary artery calcifications in Slovenia.
Article in Radiology and oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 aim of this study was to analyze the epidemiological aspects of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) patients in Slovenia, to evaluate the relationship between coronary CT angiography (CCTA)-derived epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) density and coronary artery calcifications (CAC) in patients with and without DISH, and study influencing factors of these parameters. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe research comprised patients referred for CCTA due to a clinical suspicion of coronary artery disease. DISH, CAC score and EAT attenuation were quantified using non-contrast imaging. Diagnosis of DISH was based on Resnick criteria. The CCTA was assessed for the presence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). The association between DISH and the extent of CAC was explored, using correlation analysis and multivariate regression.
resultsThe study cohort included 219 participants. The prevalence of DISH was 7.8%. In univariate logistic regression, body mass index (BMI) (odds ratio [OR] 1.133, p = 0,005), age (OR 1.055, p = 0,032) and diabetes (OR 3.840, p = 0,015) were significantly associated with the condition. However, this association did not persist on multinomial multivariate analysis, but gender, age, hypertension and EAT attenuation were found to be significantly associated with the increasing CAC strata.
conclusionsThe prevalence of DISH found is comparable with prior literature. There was no independent relationship between the prevalence of DISH and CAC. Our data point to a more nuanced and perhaps non-causal link between coronary artery disease and DISH.
