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

(1) Background: Myocardial bridging (MB) is a congenital coronary anomaly with potential clinical significance. Artificial intelligence (AI) applied to cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA), particularly through CT-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR), offers a novel, non-invasive approach for assessing MB. (2) Methods: We conducted a systematic review of the literature focusing on studies investigating AI-enhanced CCTA in the evaluation of MB. (3) Results: Ten studies were included. AI-based models, including radiomics, demonstrated moderate to high accuracy in predicting proximal plaque formation, and motion correction algorithms improved image quality and diagnostic confidence. Other findings were limited by the types of studies included and conflicting findings across studies. (4) Conclusions: AI-enhanced CCTA shows promise for the non-invasive functional assessment of MB and its risk stratification. Further prospective studies and validation are required to establish standardized protocols and confirm clinical utility.
