The efficacy of CT for detection of right ventricular dysfunction in acute pulmonary embolism, and comparison with cardiac biomarkers.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate results from computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) indicative of right ventricular dysfunction (RVD), and to assess the relationship of these results with cardiac biomarkers and mortality among patients with acute PE. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective study involved 118 patients with acute PE proved by CTPA. CTPA variables were analyzed and compared with cardiac biomarkers and echocardiography (ECHO) findings.
resultsCompared with ECHO, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of CTPA for detection of RVD were 85.7, 91.7, 93.7, and 81.5 %, respectively. ROC curve analysis for prediction of RVD resulted in areas under the curve of 0.925 for RV dimension (95 % CI 0.879-0.971, p < 0.001) and 0.913 for main pulmonary artery (MPA) diameter (95 % CI 0.863-0.963, p < 0.001). The optimum cut-off values for prediction of RVD were 37.5 mm for RV dimension and 29.1 mm for MPA diameter. These values were also statistically significantly greater for non-survivors than for survivors (p = 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively) and significantly associated with cardiac biomarkers.
conclusionIt was found that CTPA findings were significantly associated with the presence of RVD in ECHO, cardiac biomarkers, and mortality of patients with acute PE.
