Use of cardiac CT amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond: North American perspective.
Review in Journal of cardiovascular computed tomography. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected patient care deliver throughout the world, resulting in a greater emphasis on efficiently and safety. In this article, we discuss the experiences of several North American centers in utilizing cardiac CT during the pandemic. We also provide a case-based overview which highlights the advantages of cardiac CT in evaluating the following scenarios: (1) patients with possible myocardial injury versus myocardial infarction; (2) patients with acute chest pain; (3) patients with stable chest pain; (4) patients with possible intracardiac thrombus; (5) patients with valvular heart disease. For each scenario, we also provide an overview of various societies recommendations which have highlighted the use of cardiac CT during different phases of the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope that the advantages of cardiac CT that have been realized during the pandemic can help promote wider adoption of this technique and improved coverage and payment by payors.
