Cardiac volumetry in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction: a comparative study correlating multi-slice computed tomography and magnetic resonance tomography. Reasons for intermodal disagreement.

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
backgroundIn humans with normal hearts multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) based volumetry was shown to correlate well with the gold standard, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). We correlated both techniques in patients with various degrees of heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFREF) resulting from cardiac dilatation.
methodsTwenty-four patients with a left ventricular enddiastolic volume (LV-EDV) of C 150 ml measured by angiography underwent MSCT and CMR scanning for left and right ventricular (LV, RV) volumetry. MSCT based short cardiac axis views were obtained beginning at the cardiac base advancing to the apex. These were reconstructed in 20 different time windows of the RR-interval (0-95%) serving for identification of enddiastole (ED) and end-systole (ES) and for planimetry. ED and ES volumes and the ejection fraction (EF) were calculated for LV and RV. MSCT based volumetry was compared with CMR.
resultsMSCT based LV volumetry significantly correlates with CMR as follows: LV-EDV r = 0.94, LV-ESV r = 0.98 and LV-EF r = 0.93, but significantly overestimates LV-EDV and LV-ESV and underestimates EF (P \ 0.0001). MSCT based RV volumetry significantly correlates with CMR as follows: RV-EDV r = 0.79, RVESV r = 0.78 and RV-EF r = 0.73, but again significantly overestimates RV-EDV and RV-ESV and underestimates RV-EF (P \ 0.0001).
conclusionWhen compared with CMR a continuous overestimation of volumes and underestimation of EF needs to be considered when applying MSCT in HFREF patients.
