1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) has been recognized as a cardiac computed tomography-based (CCT)-based biomarker of coronary inflammation. We report the case of a 47-year-old woman with acute spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) involving the proximal left coronary artery (LCA), who underwent FAI three times. The initial CCT scan revealed higher perivascular FAI values in the dissected LCA. The second CCT scan, performed 8 days later, showed persistence of a higher perivascular FAI value only in the left circumflex coronary artery, in which progression of stenotic severity and myocardial infarction formation were found. The persistence of a higher perivascular FAI may indicate disease deterioration in patients with SCAD.
