Diagnostic performance of computed tomography for detection of concomitant coronary disease in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Article in European radiology, 2015. 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
objectivesTo evaluate the diagnostic performance of computed tomography (CT) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and suspected coexistent coronary artery diseases (CADs).
methodsSixty patients were enrolled in this study. Cardiac CT examination included CT coronary angiography (CTCA) and delayed enhancement CT. CT performance in evaluation of the coronary artery was assessed and compared with that of catheter-based coronary angiography (CA). The left ventricle (LV) wall thickness, functional indices and myocardial delayed enhancement (MDE) were measured via cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and CT images.
resultsCompared with catheter-based CA, CTCA produced a 100 % (24/24) sensitivity, a 94.4 % (34/36) specificity, a 92.3 % (24/26) positive predictive value and a 100 % (34/34) negative predictive value. CT-measured LV wall thickness and functional indices were correlated with those measured via CMR (P < 0.01), though the CT-measured values were smaller than the CMR-measured values. Bland-Altman analysis showed the volume of the focal MDE determined via CT was slightly smaller than that determined using CMR (mean difference: 0.3 cm(3)).
conclusionsFor patients with HCM and suspected coexistent CAD, this comprehensive cardiac CT protocol can be helpful in ruling out coronary stenosis and can provide information regarding morphology, function and tissue characterization of the LV myocardium.
