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
Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is an efficient method for the diagnosis of heart disease. However, few contemporary studies have evaluated the prognostic value of three-dimensional (3D)-CTA for patients with acute coronary artery disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate the diagnostic value of 3D-CTA for patients with acute coronary artery disease. A total of 136 patients with suspected acute coronary artery disease were recruited and received conventional coronary angiography (CCA) and 3D-CTA. 3D-CTA was used to assess calcified plaques in the coronary arteries (CCTA), the ratio of calcified plaque volume to vessel circumference (RVTC) and diagnostic accuracy. The results revealed that 3D-CTA was a more effective diagnostic method for identifying calcified plaques in patients with acute coronary artery disease compared with CCA. 3D-CTA demonstrated a significantly better area under curve, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value compared with CCA (P<0.01). In the present study, 3D-CTA was used to successfully diagnose 86 patients with acute coronary artery disease, 34 with myocardial infarction and 16 with stable angina. 3D-CTA images clearly showed global noise levels and target-to-background ratios determined by manually delineated coronary plaque lesions compared with CCA. Furthermore, 3D-CTA was significantly better for discriminating ischemia compared with CCA (P<0.01). In conclusion, the results of the present study suggest that 3D-CTA provides superior diagnostic performance compared with CCA alone in patients with acute coronary artery disease.
