Accuracy of Non-Electrocardiographically Gated Thoracic CT Angiography for Right Atrial and Right Ventricular Enlargement.

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
purposeTo assess the role of long-axis (LA) and short-axis (SA) measurements of the right atrium (RA) and right ventricle (RV) at non-electrocardiographically (ECG) gated thoracic CT angiography for identification of RA enlargement and RV enlargement. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study was a retrospective case review of 138 patients who underwent both non-ECG-gated CT angiography and ECG-gated CT angiography concurrently from November 2016 through November 2018. The SA and LA of the RA and RV were measured by two observers blinded to the ECG-gated CT angiography data. ECG-gated CT angiography-derived RA end-systolic and RV end-diastolic volumes were used as standard of reference to derive cutoff values for diagnosis of RA and RV enlargement.
resultsIn this study, 138 patients were evaluated (70 men, 68 women; mean age, 70.0 years ± 18.4 [standard deviation]; mean body mass index, 29.3 kg/m
conclusionRA and RV enlargement can be accurately diagnosed by using non-ECG-gated CT angiography.© RSNA, 2019
