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

The amount of coronary artery calcification (CAC) quantified in computed tomography (CT) scans enables prediction of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. However, interscan variability of CAC quantification is high, especially in scans made without ECG synchronization. We propose a method for automatic detection of CACs that are severely affected by cardiac motion. Subsequently, we evaluate the impact of such CACs on CAC quantification and CVD risk determination. This study includes 1000 baseline and 585 one-year follow-up low-dose chest CTs from the National Lung Screening Trial. About 415 baseline scans are used to train and evaluate a convolutional neural network that identifies observer determined CACs affected by severe motion artifacts. Therefore, 585 paired scans acquired at baseline and follow-up were used to evaluate the impact of severe motion artifacts on CAC quantification and risk categorization. Based on the CAC amount, the scans were categorized into four standard CVD risk categories. The method identified CACs affected by severe motion artifacts with 85.2% accuracy. Moreover, reproducibility of CAC scores in scan pairs is higher in scans containing mostly CACs not affected by severe cardiac motion. Hence, the proposed method enables identification of scans affected by severe cardiac motion, where CAC quantification may not be reproducible.
