Gated blood pool SPECT for measurement of left ventricular volumes and left ventricular ejection fraction: comparison of 8 and 16 frame gated blood pool SPECT.

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
unlabelledGated blood pool SPECT (GBPS) is an alternative to planar radionuclide ventriculography (PRNV) and offers potential advantages. The aim of this study was to compare 8 and 16 frame GBPS for the determination of left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) and left ventricular volumes (LV) in subjects underwent two consecutive GBPS.
methodAbout 66 consecutive patients (30 men, 36 women; mean age 62.3 +/- 10.4 years) referred for PRNV for evaluation of preoperative cardiac risk stratification (n = 40), prechemotherapy cardiac function evaluation (n = 18, breast cancer), and congestive heart failure patients (n = 8). All patients underwent PRNV of 16 frame and GBPS with both of 8 and 16 frame.
resultsThe mean LVEF calculated with PRNV (58.3 +/- 16.8), showed statistically lower than 8-GBPS (70.6 +/- 17.7), and 16-GBPS (69.9 +/- 16.8) (PRNV vs. 8-GBPS, p < 0.01; PRNV vs 16-GBPS, p < 0.01; 8-GBPS vs 16-GBPS, p > 0.05). The correlation of LVEFS between 8-GBPS and 16-GBPS showed a correlation coefficient of 0.9194 (p < 0.01, 95% CI = 0.8712-0.9500). The mean left ventricular end-diastolic volumes (EDV) calculated with 8-GBPS (83.2 +/- 33.5 ml), and 16-GBPS (88.4 +/- 36.8 ml) showed no statistical differences (p > 0.05). The mean left ventricular end-systolic volumes (ESV) calculated with 8-GBPS (28.1 +/- 31.4 ml), and 16-GBPS (30.5 +/- 33 ml) showed also no statistical differences (p > 0.05). Comparison of EDV from 8 and 16-GBPS yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.7430 (p < 0.01, 95% CI = 0.6108-0.8349). The correlation between ESV of 8-GBPS and 16-GBPS showed a correlation coefficient of 0.9522 (p < 0.01, 95% CI = 0.9228-0.9705).
conclusionThis study demonstrated that the LVEFs of 8-GBPS correlated well with that of 16-GBPS. The LVEF of PRNV was significantly lower than those of 8 and 16-GBPS. Also, left ventricular EDV and ESV of 8-GBPS correlated well with those of 16-GBPS. Also, further studies, involving large lumber patients, should be performed to validate the usefulness of GBPS for the evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function.
