Importance of the heart rate in ultra-high-resolution coronary CT angiography with 0.35 s gantry rotation time.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeWe investigated the effects of the heart rate (HR) on the motion artifact in coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) with ultra-high-resolution-CT (U-HRCT), and we clarified the upper limit of optimal HR in CCTA with U-HRCT in a comparison with conventional-resolution-CT (CRCT) on a cardiac phantom and in patients with CCTA. MATERIALS AND
methodsA pulsating cardiac phantom equipped with coronary models was scanned at static and HR simulations of 40-90 beats/min (bpm) at 10-bpm intervals using U-HRCT and CRCT, respectively. The sharpness and lumen diameter of the coronary model were quantitatively compared between U-HRCT and CRCT stratified by HR in the phantom study. We also assessed the visual inspections of clinical images in CCTA with U-HRCT.
resultsAt the HRs ≤ 60 bpm, the error of the lumen diameter of the U-HRCT tended to be smaller than that of the CRCT. However, at the HRs > 60 bpm, the inverse was shown. For the image sharpness, the U-HRCT was significantly superior to the CRCT (p < 0.05). In the visual assessment, the scores were negatively correlated with HRs in patients (Spearman r = - 0.71, p < 0.01). A receiver-operating characteristic analysis revealed the HR of 61 bpm as the optimal cutoff of the non-diagnostic image quality, with an area under the curve of 0.87, 95% sensitivity, and 71% specificity.
conclusionAt HRs ≤ 60 bpm, U-HRCT was more accurate in the imaging of coronary arteries than CRCT. The upper limit of the optimal HR in CCTA with U-HRCT was approx. 60 bpm.
