1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundComputed tomography-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) has emerged as a promising non-invasive substitute for fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement. Normally, CT-FFR providing functional significance of coronary artery disease (CAD) by using a simplified total coronary resistance index (TCRI) model. Yet the error or discrepancy caused by this simplified model remains unclear.

methodsA total of 20 consecutive patients with suspected CAD who underwent CTA and invasive FFR measurement were retrospectively analyzed. CT-FFR and CT-(Pd/Pa)

resultsOf the 25 vessels eventually analyzed, the prevalence of functionally significant CAD were 64%. The Youden index of the ROC curve indicated that the best cutoff value of invasive resting Pd/Pa was 0.945 for identifying functionally significant lesions. Sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value and accuracy were 85%, 91%, 92%, 83% and 88% for CT-(Pd/Pa)

conclusionsIn this study, the results suggest CT-derived resting Pd/Pa has a potential advantage over CT-FFR in triaging patients for revascularization.
