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

purposeQuantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF) and functional assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) can be achieved through stress myocardial computed tomography perfusion (stress-CTP). This requires an additional scan after the resting coronary computed tomography angiography (cCTA) and administration of an intravenous stressor. This complex protocol has limited reproducibility and non-negligible side effects for the patient. We aim to mitigate these drawbacks by proposing a computational model able to reproduce MBF maps.

methodsA computational perfusion model was used to reproduce MBF maps. The model parameters were estimated by using information from cCTA and MBF measured from stress-CTP (MBF

resultsApplying our method to 9 patients (4 control subjects without ischemia vs 5 patients with myocardial ischemia), we found an excellent agreement between the values of MBF

conclusionThe results of this pilot work demonstrate the accuracy and reliability of the proposed computational model in reproducing MBF under stress conditions. This consistency test is a preliminary step in the framework of a more ambitious project which is currently under investigation, i.e., the construction of a computational tool able to predict MBF avoiding the stress protocol and potential side effects while reducing radiation exposure.
