High-pitch dual-source CT angiography of the aortic valve-aortic root complex without ECG-synchronization.
Article in European radiology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo compare image quality and radiation dose of high-pitch computed tomography angiography(CTA) of the aortic valve-aortic root complex with and without prospective ECG-gating compared to a retrospectively ECG-gated standard-pitch acquisition. MATERIALS AND
methods120 patients (mean age 68±13 years) were examined using a 128-slice dual-source CT system using prospectively ECG-gated high-pitch (group A; n=40), non-ECG-gated high-pitch (group B; n=40) or retrospectively ECG-gated standard-pitch (C; n=40) acquisition techniques. Image quality of the aortic root, valve and ascending aorta including the coronary ostia was assessed by two independent readers. Image noise was measured, radiation dose estimates were calculated.
resultsInterobserver agreement was good(κ=0.64-0.78). Image quality was diagnostic in 38/40 patients (group A), 37/40(B) and 38/40(C) with no significant difference in number of patients with diagnostic image quality among all groups (p=0.56). Significantly more patients showed excellent image quality in group A compared to groups B and C (each, p<0.01). Average image noise was significantly different between all groups (p<0.05). Mean radiation dose estimates in groups A and B (each; 2.4±0.3 mSv) were significantly lower compared to group C (17.5±4.4 mSv; p<0.01).
conclusionHigh-pitch dual-source CTA provides diagnostic image quality of the aortic valve-aortic root complex even without ECG-gating at 86% less radiation dose when compared to a standard-pitch ECG-gated acquisition.
