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

Aims: Ejection fraction (EF) and end-systolic volume (ESV) are prognostic markers in cardiovascular disease. While MRI provides accurate assessments, its cost limits widespread use. Non-contrast cardiac CT (NCCT), used for coronary artery disease screening, may offer additional functional information. To evaluate the accuracy of AI-derived ventricular volumes and EF from NCCT compared with contrast cardiac CT (CCT) and MRI. Methods and results: This single center study included 205 patients who underwent cardiac CT for valve planning, divided into retrospective and prospective cohorts. A validated AI algorithm was applied to low-dose NCCT images at end-diastole and end-systole. Right (RV) and left ventricles (LV) volumes and their EFs were compared with CCT and MRI. In the prospective cohort (49 women, 53 men; mean age 73.9 ± 10.3 years), NCCT correlated strongly with CCT for LVEDV (152 mL; -14.2% relative difference; Conclusion: AI-derived ventricular volumes from NCCT show moderate to strong correlations, but EF is underestimated. The derived EF can be a screening tool to rule out significant ventricular dysfunction.
