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

objectiveTo investigate the relationship between computed tomography angiography (CTA) performances and cardiac function indicators in patients with myocardial bridge and mural coronary artery (MB-MCA).

methodsThe clinical data of 60 patients with MB-MCA receiving CTA in the First Hospital of Zhangjiakou from January 2021 to February 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into different groups based on CTA performances, including the degree of stenosis of the left anterior descending (LAD) MCA, whether there was atherosclerosis in the anterior segment of MB of LAD branch, the MB thickness, and the degree of stenosis of the LAD branch. The correlation between these TCA performances and cardiac function indicators including end-systolic volume (ESV), end-diastolic volume (EDV), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was analyzed. Besides, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive performance of cardiac function indicators for the severity of MB-MCA.

resultsESV, EDV, SV, CO and LVEF were statistically different between the moderate stenosis group and mild stenosis group (all P < 0.05). EDV, SV, CO, and LVEF were statistically different between the atherosclerosis group and non-atherosclerosis group (all P < 0.05). SV, CO, LVEF in the deep group were lower than that in the superficial group (all P < 0.05). EDV, CO, LVEF were different between the LAD moderate stenosis group and LAD mild stenosis group (all P < 0.05). The AUC (areas under the curve) of combined detection of ESV, EDV, SV, CO, and LVEF in predicting the severity of MB-MCA was 0.907, which was higher than the single indicator predictive effect.

conclusionsCardiac function indicators, mainly CO and LVEF are correlated with the CTA performance of MB-MCA patients. The combination of cardiac function indicators has a good effect in predicting the severity of MB-MCA.
