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
Aim: Coronary artery disease is a major cause of mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD); however, the actual burden of asymptomatic coronary artery stenosis in patients with advanced-stage CKD remains unclear. We investigated the prevalence and associated factors of significant coronary artery stenosis (≥ 50%) in asymptomatic patients with moderate-to-severe (stage G3-5) CKD. Furthermore, we evaluated the usefulness of carotid maximum intima-media thickness (IMT) in predicting significant coronary artery stenosis in these patients. Methods: We enrolled 128 patients (men: 68.0%; mean age: 70.3±11.2 years; mean estimated glomerular filtration rate: 37.6±12.9 mL/min/1.73 m Results: Seventy-six patients (60%) had significant coronary artery stenosis. Univariable analyses showed that age, body mass index, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glycated hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, and carotid maximum-IMT were associated with the presence of significant coronary artery stenosis. However, multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that only carotid maximum-IMT (odds ratio: 4.86; Conclusion: The prevalence of significant coronary artery stenosis was high (60%) in patients with moderate-to-severe CKD. Carotid maximum-IMT was the primary factor associated with the presence of significant coronary artery stenosis and might be a surrogate marker for significant coronary artery stenosis in these patients.
