Cardiac computed tomographic angiography: evaluation of non-cardiac structures.
Review in Journal of nuclear cardiology : official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Cardiac computed tomography is a promising new technology for non-invasive evaluation of the coronary arteries. As CT is inherently a high resolution volumetric imaging modality, data from structures other than the heart can be accessed in studies performed primarily for cardiac indications. Current generation scanners can easily detect abnormalities such as pulmonary emboli and aortic dissection on routine coronary CT angiograms. Many other abnormalities such as small pulmonary nodules can also be detected. While major abnormalities like aortic dissection are of obvious clinical importance, detection of incidental abnormalities such as small pulmonary nodules less than 4 mm in diameter has not yet been shown to positively affect patient outcomes, and may lead to unnecessary testing. Recommendations for image reconstruction and training in interpretation of incidental findings continue to evolve, but most agree that coronary CT angiography should be focused primarily on the coronary arteries.
