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 artery disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Major adverse cardiac events are associated not only with coronary luminal stenosis but also with atherosclerotic plaque components. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) enables non-invasive evaluation of atherosclerotic plaque along the entire coronary tree. However, precise and efficient assessment of plaque features on CCTA is still a challenge for physicians in daily practice. Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to algorithms that can simulate intelligent human behavior to improve clinical work efficiency. Recently, cardiovascular imaging has seen remarkable advancements with the use of AI. AI-assisted CCTA has the potential to facilitate the clinical workflow, offer objective and repeatable quantitative results, accelerate the interpretation of reports, and guide subsequent treatment. Several AI algorithms have been developed to provide a comprehensive assessment of atherosclerotic plaques. This review serves to highlight the cutting-edge applications of AI-assisted CCTA in atherosclerosis plaque characterization, including detecting obstructive plaques, assessing plaque volumes and vulnerability, monitoring plaque progression, and providing risk assessment. Finally, this paper discusses the current problems and future directions for implementing AI in real-world clinical settings.
