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

backgroundAs combined morphological and physiological assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) is necessary to reliably resolve CAD severity, the objective of this study was to validate an automated minimum-cost path assignment (MCP) technique which enables accurate, vessel-specific assignment of the left (LCA) and right (RCA) coronary perfusion territories using computed tomography (CT) angiography data for both left and right ventricles.

methodsSix swine were used to validate the MCP technique. In each swine, a dynamic acquisition comprised of twenty consecutive volume scans was acquired with a 320-slice CT scanner following peripheral injection of contrast material. From this acquisition the MCP technique was used to automatically assign LCA and RCA perfusion territories for the left and right ventricles, independently. Each animal underwent another dynamic CT acquisition following direct injection of contrast material into the LCA or RCA. Using this acquisition, reference standard LCA and RCA perfusion territories were isolated from the myocardial blush. The accuracy of the MCP technique was evaluated by quantitatively comparing the MCP-derived LCA and RCA perfusion territories to these reference standard territories.

resultsAll MCP perfusion territory masses (Mass

conclusionThe MCP technique was validated in a swine animal model and has the potential to be used for accurate, vessel-specific assignment of LCA and RCA perfusion territories in both the left and right ventricular myocardium using CT angiography data.
