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

Coronary angiography (CAG) provides two-dimensional images, but a clinician who is experienced in percutaneous coronary interventions can use information from these images to interpret spatial depth and infer the three-dimensional (3D) locations of vessels. We hypothesized that CAG results were equivalent to the mirror image of a coronary artery perspective projection, and a stereo perception could be easily established when the viewpoint of the angiogram was the X-ray tube instead of the detector. To eliminate the influence of heartbeat and respiration, a 3D-printed a coronary artery model was constructed for analysis. The effects of gantry movements during digital subtraction angiography (DSA) on the image were used to identify factors that affected DSA image transformation. Then, based on these factors, DSA imaging was simulated using UG NX software with three methods: (i) a perspective projection with the detector as the viewpoint; (ii) a parallel projection; and (iii) a mirror image of the perspective projection with the X-ray tube as the viewpoint. Finally, the resulting 3D images were compared with the DSA image. Our mirror image of the coronary artery perspective projection that used the X-ray tube as the viewpoint fused precisely with the CAG results and provided exact simulations of all the effects of DSA gantry movements on the DSA image. CAG results were equivalent to the mirror image of coronary artery perspective projection, and the stereo perception was easily established using the X-ray tube as the viewpoint.
