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

Coronary computed tomographic angiography (cCTA) has emerged in recent years as a noninvasive modality to evaluate coronary artery disease. Many studies have revealed the excellent diagnostic accuracy of cCTA when compared with invasive coronary angiography (ICA) or intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). It is generally accepted that the functional significance of coronary artery stenosis is important to make treatment decisions; however, cCTA, ICA, and IVUS are limited in the ability to determine the physiologic significance of coronary stenosis. The FIGURE-OUT study compared the noninvasive and invasive assessment of the functional significance of intermediate coronary artery stenosis.
