Coronary CT angiography in the elderly.
Article in Netherlands heart journal : monthly journal of the Netherlands Society of Cardiology and the Netherlands Heart Foundation, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
People over 75 years of age represent a specific group of patients for which the clinician is often in doubt about what to do, whether additional diagnostic workup is helpful or a primary medical approach would suffice. However, this patient population is less prone to the long-term effects of radiation burden or contrast medium-induced nephropathy, and therefore it may be especially worthwhile to use advanced imaging techniques such as contrast-enhanced CT in these patients. The following cases illustrate two common diagnostic problems, in which coronary CT angiography decided the clinical course.
