When can coronary computed tomography angiography in patients with calcified plaque be accurate?
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Aim: To identify a new method to indicate when coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in patients with calcified plaque can be accurate. Methods: Prospective analysis on 105 cases of coronary artery stenosis with calcified plaque underwent both CCTA and invasive coronary angiography (ICA). The Hounsfield unit (Hu) values of calcified plaque and adjacent blood were measured, and then the ratio (R Results: The R Conclusion: Our study suggests that the accuracy of detection of stenosis with CCTA in calcified vessels is related to the difference in Hu values between calcified plaques and blood.
