Review in Calcified tissue international, 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 mechanism and purpose of coronary atherosclerotic calcification remain unknown. However, evidence reviewed here suggests that calcification is not passive precipitation or adsorption, but instead is organized and regulated. Gla containing proteins and other proteins normally associated with bone metabolism appear to play an important role in this process. A variety of studies are currently in progress in our laboratory which we hope will provide a more comprehensive understanding of processes leading to coronary calcification as well as prognostic data useful in clinical cardiologic practice. A clearer understanding of the nature and significance of coronary calcification may well pave the way toward new interventions to protect myocardium and minimize the morbidity and mortality associated with coronary artery disease.
