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 has undergone rapid developments over the last decades, in particular, the emergence and technological improvements of multislice CT scanners enable satisfactory performance of cardiac CT imaging. Cardiac CT has been widely used in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease, which is the leading cause of death in industrialized countries. Cardiac CT also provides valuable information to predict the extent and prognosis of coronary artery disease. The main disadvantage of cardiac CT imaging is radiation dose, which raises concern in recent years, as there is potential risk of radiation-induced malignancy. This article will provide an overview of the current research status of cardiac CT imaging in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease, highlight the key applications of cardiac CT imaging and briefly discuss future directions of this fast advancing technique.
