• There is a lack of meta-analysis comparing the diagnostic performance of computed tomography-derived fractional flow reserve and coronary computed tomography angiography at different levels of calcification. • Computed tomography-derived fractional flow reserve only has a better diagnostic performance than coronary computed tomography angiography with low amounts of coronary calcium. • For the low coronary artery calcium score group, computed tomography-derived fractional flow reserve might be a good non-invasive method to detect hemodynamic stenoses in coronary artery disease patients.
