Review in Journal of nuclear cardiology : official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02413151 (Exercise Training Following Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.

1 · What the graph read from 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

The management of patients with heart failure (HF) is challenging and requires the integration of clinical skills and accurate ancillary tests for the correct diagnosis and estimation of individual prognosis. Although the basic characterization of patients with HF is supported primarily by echocardiographic assessment of the left ventricular function, other noninvasive imaging procedures are being developed, including those involved in the processes of myocardial perfusion, metabolism, cellular injury, intersticial dysregulation, and neurohormonal receptor function. Nuclear techniques for molecular imaging of the myocardium may provide valuable insights into the pathophysiology, severity, management (medical/mechanical/surgical), response to treatment, and prognosis of HF patients. This will permit individualized management decisions and hopefully facilitate better clinical outcomes for patients with HF.
