Role of cardiac imaging in acute chest pain.
Review in The British journal of radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Chest pain is the second most common complaint in the emergency department. The need to diagnose the cause of chest pain in a timely manner and appropriately direct care is crucial. This article discusses the role of imaging in acute chest pain, after first differentiating chest pain into cardiac and non-cardiac causes with upfront clinical and biochemical assessment. The role of non-invasive imaging including point-of-care ultrasound, echocardiography, myocardial perfusion imaging, cardiac MRI, coronary computed tomography angiography and novel cardiac CT applications are discussed. Updates in the literature regarding the role of coronary plaque imaging in acute chest pain are reviewed, as are ongoing challenges and future directions. This includes a discussion on the yield of diagnostic testing in low-risk acute chest pain cohorts
