Non-contrast coronary artery wall and plaque imaging using inversion-recovery prepared steady-state free precession.
Article in BMC medical imaging, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe objective of this study was to investigate whether three-dimensional (3D) single inversion-recovery prepared steady-state free precession (IR-SSFP) could characterize the coronary artery wall.
methodsIR-SSFP was scanned on a 1.5-T MR scanner with a five element cardiac coil. One hundred and twenty-one subjects with known or suspected coronary artery disease who had undergone X-ray coronary angiography (XCA) underwent coronary artery wall imaging using IR-SSFP sequences. In each coronary segment, the detection of the coronary wall was categorized, and contrast (signal of plaque minus signal of blood in the aorta divided by the signal of plaque plus signal of blood in the aorta) was calculated.
results422 of 517 segments (82%) were successfully visualized, and the detection scores tended to be higher at the proximal coronary artery when compared with other segments of the coronary artery. High contrast (contrast≥0.75) areas were observed in 62 of 218 segments with ≥50% coronary artery stenosis by XCA but also in 25 of 299 segments without ≥50% coronary stenosis.
conclusionsIR-SSFP provided good visualization of the coronary wall. This approach represents a promising noninvasive strategy for the assessment of the coronary artery wall.
