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

The objective is to compare the safety and efficacy of dual-axis rotational coronary angiography (DARCA) with standard coronary angiography (SA). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the efficacy of coronary lesions visualization and safety endpoints for patients with suspected coronary artery disease undergoing DARCA and SA. We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases for head-to-head trials. Mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were pooled with a random-effects model with a Paule-Mendel estimator using RStudio software. Three studies corresponding to 128 patients met the inclusion criteria. 128 (100%) patients underwent both DARCA and SA. Compared with SA, DARCA had no significant diagnostic accuracy difference for coronary lesion visualization (MD = -0.19 lesions per patient; 95% CI = [-0.52; 0.15]; p = 0.28) but was associated with a substantially lower contrast dose used (MD = -16.77 cm
