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

backgroundPericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) radiomics derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains unclear. This study aimed to assess whether PCAT radiomics could further provide complementary predictive value for the risk of MACE during long-term follow-up.

methodsA multicenter retrospective study enrolled 777 subjects who underwent pre-intervention CCTA at 3 medical centers. Patients from one institution (n = 664) formed an internal cohort and were randomly split into training and internal test sets (7:3). Multivariable Cox regression models were developed using clinical scores, traditional CCTA, PCAT attenuation (PCATa) and PCAT radiomics, and were tested using the internal test set. Data from two additional institutions (n = 113) were reserved as an external test set to evaluate the applicability and generalizability of models.

resultsA total of 777 participants (61.0 ± 9.70 years; 506 males) were analyzed. During a median follow-up of 5.45 years (interquartile range: 4.03, 7.12 years), 177 (22.78%) cases experienced a MACE. Adding culprit PCATa or three vessels-based PCATa did not improve predictive ability for the model containing clinical scores and traditional CCTA, whereas further addition of PCAT

conclusionsPCAT radiomics can enhance long-term prediction of MACE in ACS patients beyond current clinical scores, traditional CCTA and PCATa. Addition of PCAT radiomics to a conventional risk assessment improves the identification of high-risk individuals with MACE.
