High-resolution visualization of the heart surface using multi-detector computed tomography: A case study of coronary artery bypass grafting.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Multi-detector computed tomography is commonly used as a preoperative screening tool for coronary artery bypass grafting. Electrocardiographically gated cardiac computed tomography facilitates accurate identification and assessment of the target coronary artery segment. While cardiac computed tomography can visualize the morphology of coronary arteries, the surgeon's view of the heart surface may differ considerably because the arteries can be obscured by the myocardium (myocardial bridge), pericardial fat, or parallel-running coronary branches. To address this, we developed a dedicated computed tomography imaging method that incorporates tissue classification based on cardiac anatomy. We present this imaging method in the case of a 77-year-old female patient diagnosed with angina pectoris who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting. This method may help cardiac surgeons navigate cardiac anatomy more accurately, enhance confidence during surgical exploration of the target vessel, and improve communication with imaging professionals.
