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

purposeAn important aspect in the prevention and treatment of coronary artery disease is the functional evaluation of narrowed blood vessels. Medical image-based Computational Fluid Dynamic methods are currently increasingly being used in the clinical setting for flow studies of cardio vascular system. The aim of our study was to confirm the feasibility and functionality of a non-invasive computational method providing information about hemodynamic significance of coronary stenosis.

methodsA comparative method was used to simulate the flow energy losses in real (stenotic) and reconstructed models without (reference) stenosis of the coronary arteries under stress test conditions, i.e. for maximum blood flow and minimal, constant vascular resistance. In addition to the absolute pressure drop in the stenotic arteries (FFR

resultsThe greater the degree of narrowing of the vessel, the greater drop of flow energy. Each parameter introduces an additional diagnostic value. In contrast to FFR

conclusionThe study presented promising results of non-invasive, comparative test to support of prevention of coronary disease and functional evaluation of stenosed vessels.
