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

Background: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has provided excellent anatomical detail for coronary artery disease (CAD), but does not provide hemodynamic assessment. The application of conventional computed tomography perfusion (CTP) combined with CCTA to address this issue has been found to increase the scan time, radiation dose, and contrast media (CM). This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of the low-dose "one-stop" myocardial CTP as an innovative computed tomography (CT) examination that could comprehensively assess patients suspected of CAD in a single scan. Methods: Consecutive patients (n=94) with suspected CAD who underwent the 70 kV "one-stop" CTP and gender- and age-matched patients (n=62) who underwent conventional CCTA were included. The best enhanced CTP phase for coronary arteries was selected as the CCTA phase. The CM and effective dose (ED) were recorded. The image quality of the two groups was assessed. Patients who underwent CTP were divided into three groups [normal (0%, n=14), non-significant (1-49%, n=31), and significant stenosis (50-100%, n=49)] on the basis of degree of coronary stenosis. The cardiac function, myocardial strain, and myocardial blood flow (MBF) of each subgroup were analyzed. Results: Compared to the conventional CCTA protocol, the ED of "one-stop" CTP reduced by 44.5% (4.13±0.33 Conclusions: The advanced low-dose "one-stop" CTP protocol enables the simultaneous acquisition of coronary artery anatomy, ventricular function, myocardial strain, and hemodynamic information using low radiation dose and CM usage. This approach is beneficial for clinical decision-making and patient care in individuals with CAD.
