Accuracy of computed tomography for selecting the revascularization method based on SYNTAX score II.
Article in European radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesThe application of SYNTAX score II based on coronary CT angiography (CCTA) for selecting further treatment options has not been studied. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic performance of CCTA combined with SYNTAX score II for selecting the revascularization method compared with invasive coronary angiography (ICA) based on 2014 European Society of Cardiology (ESC)/European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) guidelines.
methodsFrom January-May 2011, 160 patients who underwent both CCTA and ICA within 30 interval days were included. The diagnostic performance of CCTA, CCTA plus CT-SYNTAX score I and CT-SYNTAX score II was analysed using ICA counterparts as references.
resultsOverall sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of CCTA plus CT-SYNTAX I for selecting coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) candidates using ICA plus ICA-SYNTAX I as reference, were 70.6 %, 95.8 %, 66.7 %, 96.5 % and 93.1 %, respectively. The diagnostic performance of CCTA plus CT-SYNTAX II showed improvement with values of 83.3 %, 97.3 %, 71.4 %, 98.6 % and 96.3 %, respectively, using ICA plus ICA-SYNTAX II as reference.
conclusionsCCTA combined with CT-SYNTAX score II is an accurate method for selecting CABG surgery candidates compared with ICA-SYNTAX score II. KEY POINTS: • SYNTAX plus CCTA can be highly specific for selecting the revascularization method. • SYNTAX II was complemented by including clinical considerations to SYNTAX I. • CCTA plus CT-SYNTAX II is an accurate method for selecting CABG candidates.
