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

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of second generation dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) myocardial perfusion imaging for the detection of myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with suspected MI. In total, 56 patients underwent DECT. Among those, 40 patients had MI that was detected by catheter coronary angiography and cardiac troponin I elevation and evolution of acute MI detected by electrocardiogram changes. The diagnostic accuracy, including the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) for the detection of MI were evaluated, as well as the coronary image quality of coronary artery and radiation dose. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV for the detection of MI were 95.0, 97.0, 86.4 and 98.9%, respectively. Moreover, the image quality was rated excellent (score 1) in 90.2% (515/571), good (score 2) in 6.5% (37/571), adequate (score 3) in 1.9% (11/571) and non-diagnostic (score 4) in 1.4% (8/571) of the coronary segments. The effective radiation dose was on average 6.1±1.5 mSv (3.1-10.9 mSv). Therefore, combined DE iodine maps and coronary CT angiography using the DECT may provide a high diagnostic accuracy for detecting MI with lower radiation exposure in patients with suspected MI.
