Diagnostic accuracy of a modified subtraction coronary CT angiography method with short breath-holding time: a feasibility study.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveTo explore the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of modified subtraction coronary CT angiography (CCTA) with short breath-holding time in patients who have limited breath-hold capability and severe coronary artery calcification.
methods11 patients with a coronary calcium score >400 underwent CCTA using a modified subtraction protocol. All patients were unable to hold their breath for more than 20 s. Subjective image quality using a four-point scale and the presence of significant (>50%) luminal stenosis were assessed for each calcified or stented segment on both conventional CCTA and modified subtraction CCTA images and compared with invasive coronary angiography (ICA) as the gold standard.
resultsThe mean breath-holding time was 13.0 ± 0.9 s. A total of 35 calcified or stented coronary segments were evaluated. The average image quality was increased from 2.1 ± 0.9 with conventional CCTA to 3.1 ± 0.7 with subtraction CCTA (p < 0.001). The segment-based diagnostic accuracy for detecting significant stenosis according to ICA revealed an area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of 0.722 for conventional CCTA and 0.892 for subtraction CCTA (p = 0.036).
conclusionModified subtraction CCTA allows the breath-holding time to be shortened to <15 s. As compared with conventional CCTA, modified subtraction CCTA showed improvement in image quality and diagnostic accuracy in patients with limited breath-hold capability and severe calcification. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Modified subtraction CCTA can improve the diagnostic accuracy in patients with a high calcium score and patients who are unable to perform long breath-holds.
