Coronary Computed Angiography and Coronary Artery Calcium Score for Preoperative Cardiovascular Risk Stratification in Patients Undergoing Noncardiac Surgery.
Review in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Perioperative and long-term postoperative major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. In selected high-risk patients, when information about cardiovascular status may influence surgical decisions, preoperative risk stratification is reasonable, with stress imaging being the preferred method. Coronary computed angiography (CCTA) and coronary artery calcium score (CACS) offer direct anatomical assessment of atherosclerotic coronary arteries and help gauge the extent and severity of coronary artery disease. Strong evidence supports that CCTA and CACS, either alone or in combination, are reliable methods for assessing the risk of both perioperative and long-term postoperative MACE, often demonstrating equal or superior prognostic performance compared to traditional imaging tools. Moreover, integrating CCTA or CACS into standard preoperative imaging protocols further enhances perioperative risk prediction and improves the ability to accurately stratify patients. Future research is needed to better define the role of CCTA and CACS in preoperative cardiovascular risk evaluation of patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.
