Review in Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07286578 (A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial to Investigate the Value of Coronary CT Angiography in the Understanding and Management of Coronary Calcium), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

Vascular calcification is a hallmark of atherosclerosis and adds considerable challenges for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This review underscores the critical role of coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography in assessing and quantifying vascular calcification for optimal PCI planning. Severe calcification significantly impacts procedural outcomes, necessitating accurate preprocedural evaluation. We describe the potential of coronary CT for calcium assessment and how CT may enhance precision in device selection and procedural strategy. These advancements, along with the ongoing Precise Procedural and PCI Plan study, represent a transformative shift toward personalized PCI interventions, ultimately improving patient outcomes in the challenging landscape of calcified coronary lesions.
