Prognostic value of noninvasive combined anatomic/functional assessment by cardiac CT in patients with suspected coronary artery disease - Comparison with invasive coronary angiography and nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging for the five-year-follow up of the CORE320 multicenter study.
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. It is linked to trial NCT00934037 (Multi Center Combined Non-invasive Coronary Angiography and Myocardial Perfusion Imaging Using 320-Detector Computed Tomography), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundFew data exist on long-term outcome in patients undergoing combined coronary CT angiography (CTA) and myocardial CT perfusion imaging (CTP) as well as invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and single photon emission tomography (SPECT).
methodsAt 16 centers, 381 patients were followed for major adverse cardiac events (MACE) for the CORE320 study. All patients underwent coronary CTA, CTP, and SPECT before ICA within 60 days. Prognostic performance according binary results (normal/abnormal) was assessed by 5-year major cardiovascular events (MACE) free survival and area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve (AUC).
resultsFollow up beyond 2-years was available in 323 patients. MACE-free survival rate was greater among patients with normal combined CTA-CTP findings compared to ICA-SPECT: 85 vs. 80% (95% confidence interval [CI] for difference 0.1, 11.3) though event-free survival time was similar (4.54 vs. 4.37 years, 95% CI for difference: -0.03, 0.36). Abnormal results by combined CTA-CTP was associated with 3.83 years event-free survival vs. 3.66 years after abnormal combined ICA-SPECT (95% CI for difference: -0.05, 0.39). Predicting MACE by AUC also was similar: 65 vs. 65 (difference 0.1; 95% CI -4.6, 4.9). When MACE was restricted to cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke, AUC for CTA-CTP was 71 vs. 60 by ICA-SPECT (difference 11.2; 95% CI -1.0, 19.7).
conclusionsCombined CTA-CTP evaluation yields at least equal 5-year prognostic information as combined ICA-SPECT assessment in patients presenting with suspected coronary artery disease. Noninvasive cardiac CT assessment may eliminate the need for diagnostic cardiac catheterization in many patients. CLINICAL
