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

backgroundCardiac computed tomography (CT) is essential for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease and structural heart abnormalities. Conventional cardiac CT requires electrocardiographic (ECG) synchronization to reduce motion artifacts, which is challenging and time-consuming. EARLY REPORTS SUMMARY: Advances in CT technology have enabled high-quality imaging without ECG synchronization. This report describes 2 cases where non-ECG-synchronized cardiac CT was successfully performed, reducing preparation time and improving suitability for patients with physical or cognitive limitations. DISCUSSION: Non-ECG-synchronized cardiac CT streamlines imaging and reduces patient burden. Its effectiveness may be limited in cases of frequent arrhythmia or very high heart rates. Additional studies are needed to explore its clinical applications. NOVELTY: This is the first report of non-ECG-synchronized cardiac CT, demonstrating its potential as a novel diagnostic tool. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Non-ECG-synchronized cardiac CT improved efficiency and reduced patient burden. Additional research is required to understand its clinical applicability.
