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 computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is an essential part of the diagnosis of chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) in patients with low-to-intermediate pre-test probability. The minimum technical requirement is 64-row multidetector CT (64-MDCT), which is still frequently used, although it is prone to motion artifacts because of its limited temporal resolution and z-coverage. In this study, we evaluate the potential of a deep-learning-based motion correction algorithm (MCA) to eliminate these motion artifacts. 124 64-MDCT-acquired CCTA examinations with at least minor motion artifacts were included. Images were reconstructed using a conventional reconstruction algorithm (CA) and a MCA. Image quality (IQ), according to a 5-point Likert score, was evaluated per-segment, per-artery, and per-patient and was correlated with potentially disturbing factors (heart rate (HR), intra-cycle HR changes, BMI, age, and sex). Comparison was done by Wilcoxon-Signed-Rank test, and correlation by Spearman's Rho. Per-patient, insufficient IQ decreased by 5.26%, and sufficient IQ increased by 9.66% with MCA. Per-artery, insufficient IQ of the right coronary artery (RCA) decreased by 18.18%, and sufficient IQ increased by 27.27%. Per-segment, insufficient IQ in segments 1 and 2 decreased by 11.51% and 24.78%, respectively, and sufficient IQ increased by 10.62% and 18.58%, respectively. Total artifacts per-artery decreased in the RCA from 3.11 ± 1.65 to 2.26 ± 1.52. HR dependence of RCA IQ decreased to intermediate correlation in images with MCA reconstruction. The applied MCA improves the IQ of 64-MDCT-acquired images and reduces the influence of HR on IQ, increasing 64-MDCT validity in the diagnosis of CCS.
