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

Although cardiac computed tomography (CT) has high negative predictive value to exclude obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly in the low to intermediate risk population, it has low specificity in the diagnosis of ischemia-inducing lesions. This inability to predict hemodynamically significant stenosis hampers the ability of CT to be an effective gatekeeper for invasive angiography and to guide appropriate revascularization. Recent advances in CT technology have resulted in the development of multiple techniques to provide hemodynamic information and detect lesion-specific ischemia, namely CT perfusion (CTP), CT-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) and coronary transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG). In this article, we provide a perspective on these emerging CT techniques in the evaluation of myocardial ischemia.
