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

The advent of photon-counting detector CT brought up various new interesting possibilities for coronary imaging including different scan modes and various post-processing options. The two main scan modes include spectral data acquisition with inherent energy-resolved imaging and ultra-high-resolution scanning with unprecedented high spatial resolution, both at the highest available temporal resolution. Post-processing options include the generation of virtual monoenergetic images at different levels and the generation of virtual non-calcium images. Many early studies indicated the potential of each of these options for coronary CT angiography but also show that much more work is needed to clarify the optimal scan mode for each individual patient and clinical setting.
