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.

Abstract

purposeThe goal of this study is to determine the technical accuracy of segmental perfusion parameters assessed with quantitative cardiac PET imaging in the evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with stable angina.

methodsA cohort of patients who participated in the EVINCI protocol underwent an evaluation of coronary anatomy by invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and/or coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and PET myocardial perfusion imaging with H2 (15)O, (13)NH3 or (82)Rb. PET studies were analyzed by two independent observers blinded to clinical and instrumental data, and classified as positive or negative for significant CAD using only segmental perfusion measurements and cut-off values from literature.

resultsOn a per-patient basis, the overall inter-observer agreement on PET results was 90 % (kappa = 0.79), indicating substantial agreement. On a per-vessel basis, the inter-observer agreement on PET results was 88 % (kappa = 0.74) in the RCA territory, 94 % (kappa = 0.84) in the LAD territory and 94 % (kappa = 0.85) in the LCX territory. Segmental PET measurements correctly identified 85 % of the patients, resulting in a global sensitivity of 86 %, a specificity of 84 %, a positive predictive value (PPV) of 69 % and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 93 %. In vessel-based analyses, quantitative perfusion parameters had a sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of 92 %, 82 %, 42 % and 99 %, respectively, for the detection of significant coronary stenoses in all major coronary arteries.

conclusionsThe assessment of absolute myocardial perfusion parameters measured at a segment level lead to reliable and accurate identification of patients with significant coronary stenosis at ICA and/or CCTA.
