Combination of myocardial perfusion imaging and coronary artery calcium scanning: potential synergies for improving risk assessment in subjects with suspected coronary artery disease.
Review in Current atherosclerosis reports, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
For many years, the mainstay of noninvasive evaluation of patients suspected of ischemic cardiovascular disease (CVD) centered on the use of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). In recent years, the advent of newer modalities such as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scanning, coronary CT angiography, and MRI have broadened the means of assessing cardiac patients for this purpose. Moreover, the advent of these newer modalities has created potential synergies whereby combinations of tests may be clinically useful. In this review, we assess the potential synergies between MPI, whether assessed by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or positron emission tomography (PET), and CAC scanning. Whereas MPI has long been used for diagnostic assessment and for risk stratification purposes, the emerging uses of CAC scanning now appear multifold: screening for CVD, triaging patients for diagnostic stress testing, improving risk stratification in patients following stress testing, and enhancing the direct management of patients' CVD risk following CAC scanning. Recent work suggests that CAC scanning may be emerging as the initial test of choice for most asymptomatic patients. The advent of hybrid SPECT-CT and PET-CT scanners may signify an important new opportunity for the combined use of these modalities in the higher-risk asymptomatic patient population.
