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: Wall shear stress (WSS) is affected by a variety of hemodynamic factors and plays a role in the pathogenesis of many diseases, such as abnormal WSS is associated with local endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis (AS). Vector flow mapping (VFM) is a new tool developed to calculate WSS according to the mass conservation equation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between carotid WSS measured by the VFM technique and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk stratification. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 155 individuals who were recruited from the Department of Cardiology at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University. Carotid WSS was measured via the VFM technique. The correlations between carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) or ASCVD risk stratification and carotid WSS were assessed via Spearman analysis. Multiple linear regression was used to examine the correlation between traditional risk factors or biochemical indicators and carotid WSS. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to analyze the association between carotid WSS and ASCVD risk stratification. Results: The mean age of all participants was 53.06±15.07 years, and 68.4% (n=106) of them were male. The mean carotid WSS of a cardiac cycle (WSS Conclusions: Carotid WSS measured with the VFM technique was significantly correlated with CIMT and ASCVD risk stratification and could be used for screening and monitoring individuals with potential ASCVD risk.
