The expanding role of left ventricular functional assessment using gated myocardial perfusion SPECT: the supporting actor is stealing the scene.
Review in European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
backgroundGating of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) has significantly improved the reliability and diagnostic accuracy of myocardial perfusion imaging. The functional parameters derived from this technique, mainly left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction, have been demonstrated to be accurate and reproducible. They are able to increase the detection of severe and extensive coronary artery disease and show a significant incremental prognostic power over perfusion abnormalities. Therefore, the importance given to gated SPECT functional data has progressively grown. DISCUSSION: This circumstance has further expanded the indications for myocardial perfusion imaging and strengthened its position among the different imaging modalities. Moreover, several studies show that the evaluation of ventricular function may have a leading part in justifying the execution of perfusion scintigraphy in various clinical conditions.
aimAim of this review is to describe this evolution of gated SPECT functional assessment from a supporting rank with respect to perfusion, to a main actor position in the field of cardiac imaging.
