Investigating the Influence of High-Speed Gantry Rotation in Cardiac CT on Motion Artifacts in Aortic Stenosis Patients Not Premedicated with β-Blockers: The FAST-CCT Randomized Trial Protocol.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05709652 (Impact of Fast Gantry Rotation Cardiac CT Angiography on Coronary Motion Artifacts in the Absence of β-Blocker Premedication in Patients Undergoing Aortic Stenosis Workup), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundCoronary CT angiography (CCTA) is increasingly used as a non-invasive tool to assess coronary artery disease (CAD). However, CCTA is subject to motion artifacts, potentially limiting its clinical utility. Despite faster (0.35 and 0.28 s/rot) gantry rotation times, low (60-65 bpm) heartbeat is recommended, and the use of β-blockers is often needed. Technological advancements have resulted in the development of faster rotation speeds (0.23 s/rot). However, their added value in patients not premedicated with β-blockers remains unclear. This prospective single-center, two-arm, randomized, controlled trial aims to assess the influence of fast rotation on coronary motion artifacts, diagnostic accuracy of CCTA for CAD, and patient safety.
methodsWe will randomize a total of 142 patients aged ≥ 50 scheduled for an aortic stenosis work-up to receive CCTA with either a fast (0.23) or standard (0.28 s/rot) gantry speed. PRIMARY OUTCOME: rate of CCTAs with coronary motion artifacts hindering interpretation. SECONDARY OUTCOMES: assessable coronary segments rate, diagnostic accuracy against invasive coronary angiography (ICA), motion artifact magnitude per segment, contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), and patient ionizing radiation dose. The local ethics committee has approved the protocol. Potential significance: FAST-CCT may improve motion artifact reduction and diagnosis quality, thus eliminating the need for rate control and β-blocker administration. CLINICALTRIALS: gov identifier: NCT05709652.
