Coronary Calcium Scoring as Prediction of Coronary Artery Diseases with Low-Dose Dual-Source CT.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 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
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the correlation between the coronary calcium score (CCS) and coronary artery disease (CAD), patients underwent coronary CT angiography (CTA). Four hundred and five patients who underwent a coronary CT with CCS analysis were considered for this retrospective study. Coronary CTA was performed using a dual-source (256-slice) CT scanner (SOMATOM Definition Flash, Siemens Healthcare, Forchheim, Germany). Before injecting the contrast medium, non-contrasted cardiac CT was performed in a longitudinal scan field from the tracheal carina down to the diaphragm. The corresponding images for calcium scoring were reconstructed with a slice width of 1.5 mm and a slice interval of 1 mm, and the tube voltage was 120 kVp. The total calcium score was calculated using dedicated software. The calcium score based on the Agatston method was defined as the presence of a lesion with an area greater than 1 mm
