Electrocardiographic body surface mapping: potential tool for the detection of transient myocardial ischemia in the 21st century?
Review in Annals of noninvasive electrocardiology : the official journal of the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Inc, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity worldwide. CAD presents as a wide spectrum of clinical disease from stable angina to ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) has been the main tool for the diagnosis of these events for almost a century but is limited in its diagnostic ability. For patients with suspected angina, the exercise tolerance test is often used to provoke and detect stress-induced ischemia but does not provide a definitive answer in a substantial proportion of patients. Body surface mapping (BSM) is a technique that samples multiple points around the thorax to provide a more comprehensive electrocardiographic data set than the conventional 12-lead ECG. Moreover, recent preliminary data demonstrate that BSM can detect and display transient regional myocardial ischemia in an intuitive fashion, employing subtraction color mapping, making it potentially valuable for diagnosing CAD causing transient regional ischemia. Research is ongoing to determine the full extent of its utility.
