Identification of coronary calcified nodules on noninvasive coronary CT: A two-case report with intravascular imaging correlation.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2026. 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
Calcified nodules are a form of coronary calcification associated with acute coronary syndrome and adverse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention. We report 2 cases in which noninvasive high-resolution coronary computed tomography (CT) suggested calcified nodules later corroborated by intravascular optical coherence tomography. In case 1, CT demonstrated a protruding calcified focus in the right coronary artery with lower attenuation than adjacent calcification. In case 2, CT showed a small nodular lesion in the proximal left circumflex artery with a similar attenuation pattern. In both cases, the CT findings prompted a calcium-modification strategy and directly informed procedural planning. High-resolution coronary CT may therefore enable noninvasive recognition of calcified nodules with direct implications for preprocedural strategy selection; however, further studies are needed.
