Validation of computed tomography angiography using mean arterial pressure gradient as a reference in stented superior mesenteric artery.

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
purposeThe aim of this prospective study was to validate the diagnostic performance of computed tomography angiography (CTA) in endoprosthesis stenosis in the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) using mean arterial pressure (MAP) gradients during angiography as a reference method.
methodsTwenty-nine patients with mesenteric atherosclerotic disease underwent 45 paired measurements of endoprosthesis stenosis in the SMA with CTA and MAP gradients between March 2009 and July 2015. The grade of endoprosthesis stenosis in the SMA at CTA using the TeraRecon Aquarius workstation was correlated with MAP gradients.
resultsGrade of endoprosthesis stenosis in the SMA (r = 0.37, p = 0.013) correlated with MAP gradients. The intraclass correlations between the first and second CTA rater was 0.76 (95% CI 0.56-0.87) for estimation of grade of endoprosthesis stenosis in the SMA. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve was 0.79 for diagnosis of significant endoprosthesis stenosis in the SMA at CTA for different threshold values using MAP gradient of ≥ 10 mmHg as reference. Sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value for endoprosthesis stenosis in the SMA ≥ 50% at CTA were 52.4% (95% CI 31.0-73.7), 87.5% (95% CI 74.3-100.0) and 78.6 (95% CI 57.1-1.00), respectively.
conclusionGrading endoprosthesis stenosis in the SMA with CTA performed fair when using trans-stenotic MAP gradient as reference. Software development towards reduction of endoprosthesis artefacts may result in more accurate CTA assessment of the narrowest part.
