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

Objective: To compare the diagnostic performance of electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated thoracic computed tomography angiography (TCTA) without heart rate (HR) control in ischemic stroke patients with coronary CTA (CCTA) in non-stroke patients for detection of significant coronary artery stenosis. Materials and Methods: From September 2009 through August 2014, we retrospectively enrolled 138 consecutive patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke who had undergone ECG-gated TCTA and conventional coronary angiography (CCA). Over the same period, we selected 167 non-stroke patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease who had undergone CCTA and CCA. With CCA as the reference standard, the diagnostic performance of TCTA and CCTA for identification of significant coronary stenosis (diameter reduction ≥ 50%) was calculated. Results: There was no significant difference in baseline characteristics between TCTA (n = 132) and CCTA (n = 164), except for the higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation in the stroke group. There was significant difference ( Conclusion: Electrocardiogram-gated TCTA without HR control facilitates the identification of significant coronary stenosis in patients with ischemic stroke.
