Noninvasive monitoring of medical therapy.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2006. 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
An extensive literature base documents the substantial incremental prognostic value of nuclear cardiology compared with information provided by risk factors, clinical history, electrocardiographic stress testing results, and coronary arteriography. A smaller, well-established and growing literature addresses the unique potential of nuclear cardiology to assess therapeutic response of ischemic heart disease to lifestyle and medical therapies in individual patients. General guidelines focus on management of individual risk factors based on large studies, but may not reflect the optimum treatment strategy for an individual patient. The central rationale for noninvasive serial monitoring is to optimize the effectiveness and timing of lifestyle, medical, and revascularization therapies to minimize coronary event risk. Ideally, this monitoring of therapy should be early in the management of coronary artery disease (CAD) and guide the need for more intensive therapeutics. The application of technical advances in serial monitoring has the potential to revolutionize the way we diagnose and prevent CAD, even in asymptomatic patients. The potential long-term cost effectiveness of positron emission tomography and single-photon emission CT myocardial perfusion scintigraphy in detecting and monitoring treatment of CAD offers great promise for reducing coronary events in known or suspected ischemic heart disease.
