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 and Aims: Coronary artery disease (CAD), a leading cause of death globally, is among the most commonly diagnosed manifestations of heart disease. Although invasive coronary angiography (ICA) remains the "gold standard" to detect CAD, it is accompanied by several limitations. This review aims to present recent Noninvasive diagnostic modalities in CAD, report and compare the diagnostic accuracy of different invasive and noninvasive tests in CAD, and analyze both the current and future clinical implications of noninvasive modalities that regularly evaluate CAD in modern cardiology. Methods: Given this background and purpose, various, reliable online sources were searched to find relevant data for our narrative review. To this end, several databases were consulted including Google Scholar, PubMed, and Embase. Results: The weight of the evidence highlights that the accuracy of several noninvasive diagnostic modalities in CAD is high and the choice of the most suitable noninvasive diagnostic testing mainly depends on local resources, tests' features, and patients' characteristics, which determine the pretest probability of CAD. For patients presenting an intermediate pretest probability of the disease noninvasive testing seems to be appropriate. Conclusion: Noninvasive diagnostic modalities could limit the usage of invasive modalities in CAD. Nowadays, noninvasive diagnostic modalities are increasingly being promoted as they provide useful and reliable information about the various aspects of CAD. Undoubtedly, more efforts are needed to optimize noninvasive diagnostic tests to demonstrate their full potential in CAD.
