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

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) is suitable for use in patients with a low to intermediate pretest probability for risk stratification and for a clear exclusion of coronary heart disease. Furthermore, in addition to a purely anatomical depiction of coronary stenosis it enables the morphological assessment of the underlying plaques and a functional assessment of the hemodynamic relevance. The clinical value of cardiac CT is taken into account in the guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) on chronic coronary syndrome with a class 1 recommendation. Cardiac CT therefore has an essential gatekeeper function with respect to the indications for coronary interventions. In the field of structural heart diseases cardiac CT is a core element in the preprocedural planning of heart valve interventions and is the first choice procedure in the postinterventional assessment of unclear findings. Therefore, for interventional heart valve replacement CT-based planning is nowadays the established standard in the clinical diagnostics.
