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

objectivesTo evaluate the performance of computed tomography angiography (CTA) ≥64 slices for detecting coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR) and determine the influence of separate characteristics on diagnostic accuracy.

methodsWe searched the PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases for studies of CTA ≥64 slices in diagnosing ISR. We pooled data on bivariate modelling, and subgroup analysis was also performed.

resultsA total of 35 studies involving 4131 stents were included. The pooled positive likelihood ratio (LR

conclusionsWith the high LR KEY POINTS: • CTA may provide accurate information on characteristics of in-stent restenosis lesions. • Using CTA, ISR patients may be appropriate for non-invasive angiographic follow-up. • Stent diameter and the number of slices do not influence CTA. • CTA seems unsuitable for patients with thick-strut stents or bifurcation stenting.
