Reproducibility of quantitative plaque measurement in advanced coronary artery disease.
Article 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 26 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe ability to characterize and to quantify the extent of coronary artery disease has the potential to improve the prognostic capability of coronary computed tomography angiography. Although reproducible techniques have been described in those with mild coronary disease, this has yet to be assessed in patients with advanced disease.
methodsTwenty patients with known multivessel disease underwent repeated computed tomography coronary angiography, 2 weeks apart. Coronary artery segments were analysed using semi-automated software by two trained observers to determine intraobserver, interobserver and interscan reproducibility.
resultsOverall, 149 coronary arterial segments were analysed. There was excellent intraobserver and interobserver agreement for all plaque volume measurements (Lin's coefficient 0.95 to 1.0). There were no substantial interscan differences (P > 0.05 for all) for total (2063 ± 1246 mm
conclusionIn the presence of advanced coronary disease, semi-automated plaque quantification provides excellent reproducibility, particularly for total and non-calcified plaque volumes. This approach has major potential to assess change in disease over time and optimize risk stratification in patients with established coronary artery disease.
