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

objectivesTo evaluate the value of radiomics-based model of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) combined with CT fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) in predicting hemodynamically significant coronary stenosis.

methodsPatients with suspected or known coronary artery disease, who had coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), invasive coronary angiography (ICA), and FFR within 1 month, were retrospectively included. Radiomics features of lesion-based PCAT were extracted. The lesion-specific CT-FFR values, CCTA-derived diameter stenosis, lesion length, and PCAT attenuation were also measured. FFR values were used as the reference standard to assess the diagnostic performance of radiomics model, CT-FFR, and combined model for detection of flow-limiting stenosis.

resultsA total of 146 patients with 180 lesions were included in the study. All lesions were divided into training and validation cohorts at a ratio of 2:1. CT-FFR model exhibited the highest area under the curve (AUC) (0.803 for training, 0.791 for validation) in predicting hemodynamically significant stenosis, followed by radiomics model (0.776 for training, 0.744 for validation). However, no statistically significant difference was found between the AUCs of the above two models (p > 0.05). When CT-FFR was combined with radiomics model, the AUC reached 0.900 for training cohort and 0.875 for validation cohort, which were significantly higher than that of CT-FFR and radiomics model alone (both p < 0.05).

conclusionThe diagnostic performance of PCAT radiomics model was comparable to that of CT-FFR for identification of ischemic coronary stenosis. Adding PCAT radiomics model to CT-FFR showed incremental value in discriminating flow-limiting from non-flow-limiting lesions. KEY POINTS: • Radiomics analysis of lesion-based PCAT is potentially an alternative method to identify hemodynamic significance of coronary artery stenosis. • Adding radiomics model of PCAT to CT-FFR improved diagnostic performance for the detection of flow-limiting coronary stenosis. • Radiomics features + CT-FFR is a promising noninvasive method for comprehensive evaluation of hemodynamic significance of coronary artery stenosis.
