Correlation of Aortic Elasticity Indices with the Severity of Coronary Artery Disease.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular echography. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major contributor to global morbidity and mortality. Aortic elasticity indices (AEI) have emerged as potential indicators for evaluating risk in CAD. This research aimed to explore the association between AEI and the severity of CAD, as measured by the modified Gensini score (mGS). Materials and Methods: A total of 225 individuals were screened, out of which 100 eligible individuals undergoing elective coronary angiography for suspected CAD were enrolled. These participants were divided into two groups: Group I, with normal or insignificant angiographic findings (31%) and Group II, with significant CAD (69%), for whom the mGS was calculated. Echocardiographically derived AEI were obtained for all participants. Results: The mean age was 55.26 ± 8.94 years, predominantly males (63%). Unstable angina was the most prevalent presentation (70%), and dyslipidemia was identified as the most predominant (89%) risk factor. The analysis revealed that patients with significant CAD exhibited lower aortic distensibility (AD) (<4.85 cm Conclusion: This study underscores AD as the most reliable AEI for assessing CAD severity. Integrating these indices into routine clinical practice could significantly enhance risk stratification, guide treatment decisions, and ultimately improve outcomes for CAD patients.
