Review in Nature reviews. Cardiology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Noninvasive cardiac imaging has an important role in the assessment of patients with acute-onset chest pain. In patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS), cardiac imaging offers incremental value over routine clinical assessment, the electrocardiogram, and blood biomarkers of myocardial injury, to confirm or refute the diagnosis of coronary artery disease and to assess future cardiovascular risk. This Review covers the current guidelines and clinical use of the common noninvasive imaging techniques, including echocardiography and stress echocardiography, computed tomography coronary angiography, myocardial perfusion scintigraphy, positron emission tomography, and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, in patients with suspected ACS, and provides an update on the developments in noninvasive imaging techniques in the past 5 years.
