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

backgroundNon-invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) has been increasingly used in the clinical workflow to assist clinical decision-making for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This clinical study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of coronary stenosis assessed by a non-invasive FFR analysis method (termed AccuFFRangio) based on invasive coronary angiography (ICA). It is a blinded, self-controlled, retrospective, and dual-center clinical investigation study.

methodsCoronary angiography data and the related information of 320 patients with 320 vessels were collected, and AccuFFRangio was used to assess the FFR for these patients. Compared with the wire-measured FFR values, we evaluated AccuFFRangio performance by its accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV).

resultsThe diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV for AccuFFRangio in identifying hemodynamically significant coronary stenosis were 93.3%, 92.6%, 93.5%, 84.3%, and 97.1%, respectively. The direct correlation between computed AccuFFRangio and measured FFR was 0.812 (P<0.001), and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) value of AccuFFRangio was 0.96.

conclusionsThis clinical study demonstrates the efficiency and accuracy of AccuFFRangio for clinical implementation when using invasive wire-measured FFR as a reference. Further validation is required in a large prospective multicenter study.
