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

ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients remain at substantial risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) following emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) may enhance risk stratification beyond traditional clinical scores. This prospective cohort study enrolled 92 consecutive STEMI patients who underwent emergency PCI between June 2022 and June 2025. All patients underwent 256-slice CCTA with AI-assisted analysis within 7 days post-PCI. AI algorithms quantified plaque characteristics including total plaque volume, low-attenuation plaque burden, positive remodeling, and coronary artery calcium score. The primary endpoint was MACE (composite of cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, and heart failure hospitalization) at 1-year follow-up. Multivariate logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed to assess predictive value. AI-enhanced multilayer spiral CT provides excellent discriminatory power for predicting 1-year MACE in STEMI patients post-PCI, offering significant incremental value beyond traditional risk stratification tools. This integrated approach enables personalized risk assessment and may guide intensified follow-up strategies in high-risk patients. During 12-month follow-up, MACE occurred in 23 patients (25.00%). The AI-CCTA model incorporating total plaque volume >400 mm3 (odds ratio [OR] 2.87, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.34-6.15, P = .007), low-attenuation plaque presence (OR 3.42, 95% CI: 1.28-9.14, P = .014), and left ventricular end-diastolic volume change (OR 2.64, 95% CI: 1.19-5.86, P = .017) demonstrated superior predictive performance. The combined AI-CCTA model achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.876 (95% CI: 0.791-0.937), significantly outperforming the GRACE score alone (AUC 0.742, 95% CI: 0.639-0.829, P = .012). The optimal cutoff yielded a sensitivity of 87.00%, specificity of 79.70%, positive predictive value of 62.50%, and negative predictive value of 93.60%.
