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

purposeMyocardial bridges (MB) have traditionally been considered a benign condition, but recent studies have demonstrated that the clinical complications can be dangerous. The transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG) obtained from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) data (Retrospective ECG-triggered method) has been used in detecting significant stenosis in coronary artery caused by atherosclerosis. Contrast opacification difference (COD) was the parameters calculated as the change between attenuation of mural artery and the median attenuation of presumptive vessel segment; it was evaluated along with TAG

methodsA total of 107 MB patients were divided into three groups based on systolic compression (SC), including: Group 1 (MB without SC); Group 2 (MB with mild SC); and Group 3 (MB with significant SC). ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis analysis indicated TAGs showed the most significant differences for MB identification.

resultsThis study revealed that TAGs decreasing and COD increasing were dominated in MB with significant SC.

conclusionsCOD had a higher sensitivity and a higher negative predictive value for detecting MB with significant SC than TAGs.
