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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to compare 8- and 16-frame gated blood pool single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) (GBPS) for the determination of right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) and right ventricular (RV) volumes in subjects who underwent two consecutive GBPS studies. METHODS AND
resultsIn this study 65 consecutive patients (29 men and 36 women) referred for first-pass radionuclide angiography (FP-RNA) underwent FP-RNA and both 8- and 16-frame GBPS. The mean FP-RNA RVEF was statistically lower than RVEF determined by 8-frame GBPS (P < .001) and 16-frame GBPS (P < .001). Comparison of RVEF by FP-RNA and GBPS yielded coefficients of 0.8666 (P < .0001) for 16-frame GBPS and 0.7290 (P < .0001) for 8-frame GBPS. The correlation of RVEF between 8- and 16-frame GBPS showed a coefficient of 0.6657 (P < .0001). The mean RV end-diastolic volume (EDV) calculated with 8- and 16-frame GBPS showed no statistical differences (P = .3580). The mean RV end-systolic volume (ESV) calculated with 8- and 16-frame GBPS also showed no statistical differences (P = .2265). Comparison of EDV by 8- and 16-frame GBPS yielded a coefficient of 0.7327 (P < .0001). The correlation between ESV by 8-frame GBPS and 16-frame GBPS showed a coefficient of 0.6067 (P < .0001).
conclusionGBPS is a simple and reproducible acquisition method for the assessment of RVEF and RV volumes. RVEF values calculated by 8- and 16-frame GBPS correlated well with FP-RNA, although mean RVEF values from FP-RNA were lower than GBPS RVEF values. In addition, RV ESV and EDV were both well correlated with 8- and 16-frame GBPS. GBPS should prove to be useful in diagnosis, as well as in following disease progression and evaluating the efficacy of therapeutic interventions, in patients with biventricular dysfunction.
