Diagnostic value of myocardial bridge-mural coronary artery vascular morphology based on CTA technique.

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
objectiveTo investigate the diagnostic value of coronary CT angiography (CTA) technique on the vascular morphology of the myocardial bridge-mural coronary artery (MB-MCA).
methodsIn this retrospective study, 180 patients with suspected MB-MCA attending Hebei Huaao Hospital from February 2019 to February 2020 were analyzed. The image quality, myocardial bridge distribution, type, length, and degree of stenosis of wall coronary vessels were compared between CTA and Coronary angiography (CAG). The area under the curve (AUC) was used to analyze the diagnostic efficiency of CTA.
resultsThere was no difference in the excellent CTA image quality rate between the two methods (P > 0.05). The mean length of myocardial bridges measured by CTA was greater than that measured by CAG (P < 0.05), while the mean degree of stenosis measured by CTA was lower than that measured by CAG (P < 0.05). The Kappa value of CTA for determining MB-MCA stenosis versus CAG results was 0.831 (P < 0.05); The Kappa value of CTA for determining MB-MCA versus CAG results was 0.895 (P < 0.05). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the AUC was 92.41, sensitivity was 98.73%, and specificity was 92.47% (P < 0.05).
conclusionsCTA showed good distribution and length of myocardial bridges, high accuracy for MB-MCA assessment and diagnosis, and good agreement with the gold standard CAG diagnosis.
