Management of acute chest pain in the Emergency Department: benefits of coronary computed tomography angiography.
Review in The international journal of cardiovascular imaging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Acute chest pain (ACP) is a frequent cause of Emergency Department (ED) admissions, with millions of cases reported globally each year. Timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial due to the wide range of underlying causes, such as acute coronary syndrome (ACS), pulmonary embolism (PE), aortic dissection, and others. Misdiagnosis can lead to missed life-saving interventions or, alternatively, unnecessary hospitalizations, escalating healthcare costs. While risk stratification tools like the HEART, GRACE, and TIMI scores are useful, additional imaging is often required to achieve diagnostic precision. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has shown significant potential in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and improving patient outcomes. In this review, we explore the challenges physicians encounter when evaluating ACP in the ED, emphasizing the utility of CCTA as a key diagnostic tool. Additionally, we present a clinical case that illustrates how CT scan effectively aids in diagnosing patients with ambiguous symptoms, with CT imaging playing a pivotal role in identifying the underlying pathology.
