CCS/CAR/CANM/CNCS/CanSCMR joint position statement on advanced noninvasive cardiac imaging using positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and multidetector computed tomographic angiography in the diagnosis and evaluation of ischemic heart disease--executive summary.
Guideline in The Canadian journal of cardiology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01412827 (Diagnostic and Prognostic Accuracy of Stress SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging With Half the Usual Radiotracer Dose), which is not on this map. Cited by 34 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundOver the past few decades, advanced imaging modalities with excellent diagnostic capabilities have emerged. The aim of the present position statement was to systematically review existing literature to define Canadian recommendations for their clinical use.
methodsA systematic literature review to 2005 was conducted for positron emission tomography (PET), multidetector computed tomographic angiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in ischemic heart disease. Papers that met the criteria were reviewed for accuracy, prognosis data and study quality. Recommendations were presented to primary and secondary panels of experts, and consensus was achieved.
resultsIndications for PET include detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) with perfusion imaging, and defining viability using fluorodeoxyglucose to determine left ventricular function recovery and/or prognosis after revascularization (class I). Detection of CAD in patients, vessel segments and grafts using computed tomographic angiography was considered class IIa at the time of the literature review. Dobutamine MRI is class I for CAD detection and, along with late gadolinium enhancement MRI, class I for viability detection to predict left ventricular function recovery. Imaging must be performed at institutions and interpreted by physicians with adequate experience and training.
conclusionsCardiac imaging using advanced modalities (PET, multidetector computed tomographic angiography and MRI) is useful for CAD detection, viability definition and, in some cases, prognosis. These modalities complement the more widespread single photon emission computed tomography and echocardiography. Given the rapid evolution of technology, initial guidelines for clinical use will require regular updates. Evaluation of their integration in clinical practice should be ongoing; optimal use will require proper training. A joint effort among specialties is recommended to achieve these goals.
