The Feasibility of Ultra-Sensitive Phonocardiography in Acute Chest Pain Patients of a Tertiary Care Emergency Department (ScorED Feasibility Study).
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThoracic pain is one of the most frequent chief complaints at emergency departments (EDs). However, a respective workup in cases without clear electrocardiographic signs is complex. In addition, after having ruled out acute coronary syndrome (ACS), patients are often left with an unclear etiology of their symptoms. Ultra-sensitive phonocardiography is already used to rule out stable coronary artery disease (CAD); however, its feasibility in an ED-setting remains unknown.
methodsWe prospectively used ultra-sensitive phonocardiography via the CADScor
resultsA total of 101 patients (49% male; 94% Caucasian; 61 (51-71) years; BMI 28.3 (24.2-31.6)) were enrolled. Patient workflow was not hindered, and no adverse events were recorded. In 80% of cases, a score was successfully calculated, with 74% at the first, 5% at the second, and 1% at the third attempt. Feasibility was judged as 9.0 (±1.8) by the patients, and 8.9 (±2.6) by the investigators on a 10-point Likert scale.
conclusionsUltra-sensitive phonocardiography was found to be feasible in acute chest pain patients presenting to a tertiary ED. Thus, the CAD score measured during routine waiting times could potentially serve as an additional tool in a diagnostic pathway for thoracic pain.
