Relationship between Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness Measured by Computed Tomography and Coronary Thrombus Burden in Patients with ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction.
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: Understanding the epicardial adipose tissue (EAT)-thrombus burden (TB) link in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) may assist in singling out high-risk cases and guide therapies to reduce EAT or its activity, potentially improving outcomes. Aim: We aimed to study the EAT and coronary artery TB relationship in STEMI patients referred to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study included 32 patients diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)و aged 18 years old or more, both sexes. All participants underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 12 hours of symptom onset and subsequently had a non-contrast cardiac computed tomography (CT) scan performed during their hospital stay to assess epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness. Patients were assigned to two groups: relying on their angiographic thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) thrombus grade: Group I: with low TB (Grades 0-3) and Group II: with high TB (Grades 4-5). Results: A strong positive correlation between EAT in the right atrioventricular (AV) groove and TIMI thrombus score ( Conclusions: Increased right AV groove EAT is strongly linked to higher TB in STEMI and may serve as a noninvasive CT predictor for thrombus risk.
