Myocardial bridging evaluated with 128-multi detector computed tomography coronary angiography.
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeThe aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence, length, depth, and location of myocardial bridging of the coronary arteries using 128-multi detector computed tomography coronary angiography.
methodsThe study cohort consisted of 875 patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) for various indications. We evaluated the presence, length, and location of complete and incomplete bridging. In cases of complete bridging the thickness of the overlying muscle was also measured.
resultsFrom a total of 875 subjects, 184 subjects (21%) were found to a single myocardial bridge. Complete bridging was detected in 161 patients (18.4%) and incomplete bridging in 23 patients (2.6%). The coronary arteries involved were the mid portion of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) (67.9%), the distal portion of the LAD (28.8%), and the proximal portion of the LAD (3.2%). No myocardial bridging was detected in other arteries in our study. The mean length and maximum myocardial thickness overlying the complete bridging were 20.9 mm (range 8-32 mm) and 2.6 mm (range 1.2-5.3 mm), respectively. The mean length of the incomplete bridging was 17 mm (range 9-2.3 mm).
conclusionsMulti detector computed tomography is a reliable non-invasive modality for diagnosing myocardial bridging. The prevalence of myocardial bridging in this patient group was 21%. Our results are in agreement with those reported in pathologic studies, the gold standard for detecting this anomaly.
