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

Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has technically matured into a robust imaging modality for various cardiac disorders. Whereas early trials focused on assessment of the efficacy of CCTA in comparison with established recommended methods, current research efforts focus on the effectiveness of the technique in specific clinical scenarios. In this article, we provide an overview of recent technology advances, describe major clinical scenarios in which CCTA has been evaluated, and detail pertinent evidence from completed or ongoing clinical trials, including its use to investigate acute chest pain, its use among patients with stable chest pain syndrome, and its prognostic value for the occurrence of cardiovascular events.
