Impact of sublingual nitroglycerin dosage on FFR
Article in European radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
objectivesFractional flow reserve computed tomography (FFR
methodsEighty patients with repeat coronary CT angiograms (CCTAs) with different sublingual spray NTG doses (0.4 mg and 0.8 mg) were retrospectively analyzed with 45 patients excluded. Patient and scan demographics, post-stenosis and nadir FFR
resultsThirty-five patients were included (time between CCTAs, 3.9 ± 1.6 years). Segment involvement score was 2.4 ± 3.3 and 2.8 ± 3.4 at initial and repeat CCTA (0.4 and 0.8 mg NTG), respectively (p = 0.004). There was similar image quality (4.1 ± 0.7 vs 4.1 ± 0.8; p = 0.51). Nadir FFR
conclusionsUse of 0.8 mg versus 0.4 mg of NTG in routine clinical CCTAs significantly increased coronary volume determined from FFR KEY POINTS: • Fractional flow reserve from computed tomography (FFR
