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

Computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) for the diagnosis and evaluation of coronary artery occlusive disease has rapidly gained acceptance among clinicians. Its growing use in selected populations has provided a wealth of data, leading to a recent flurry of articles describing both the benefits and limitations of this imaging modality. In this article, we describe the case of an 80 year old woman who presented with anginal symptoms, who first underwent CTCA which suggested severe right coronary artery stenosis. A subsequent invasive coronary angiogram was crucial in revealing a total occlusion and the presence of collateral vessels, findings that would ultimately guide therapy. This case demonstrates a significant limitation in the use of CTCA and the associated images are valuable in illustrating this point.
