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
purpose(99m)Tc-glucarate is an infarct-avid imaging agent. However, patients may have mixtures of normal, irreversibly injured, stunned, and hibernating myocardium. The purposes were to determine (99m)Tc-glucarate uptake and clearance kinetics in these four conditions, and its ability to determine the extent of injury.
methodsTwenty-two perfused rat hearts were studied: controls (n = 5), stunned (n = 5; 20-min no-flow followed by 5-min reflow), hibernating (n = 6; 120-min low flow at 4 ml/min), and ischemic-reperfused (n = 6; 120-min no-flow followed by reflow). (99m)Tc-glucarate was then infused. Tracer activity was monitored using a NaI scintillation detector and a multichannel analyzer. Creatine kinase, electron microscopy, and triphenyltetrazolium chloride determined viability.
results(99m)Tc-glucarate 10-min myocardial uptake was significantly greater in ischemic-reperfused (2.50 +/- 0.09) (cpm, SEM) than in control (1.74 +/- 0.07), stunned (1.68 +/- 0.11), and hibernating (1.59 +/- 0.11) (p < 0.05). Tracer retention curves for ischemic-reperfused were elevated at all time points as compared with the other groups. (99m)Tc-glucarate 60-min myocardial uptake was significantly greater in ischemic-reperfused (7.60 +/- 0.63) than in control (1.98 +/- 0.15), stunned (1.79 +/- 0.08), and hibernating (2.33 +/- 0.15) (p < 0.05). The 60-min well-counted tracer activity ratio of ischemic-reperfused to control was 9:1 and corroborated the NaI detector results. Creatine kinase, triphenyltetrazolium chloride, and electron microscopy all demonstrated significantly greater injury in ischemic-reperfused compared to the other groups. An excellent correlation was observed between viability markers and tracer activity (r = 0.99 triphenyltetrazolium chloride; r = 0.90 creatine kinase).
conclusion(99m)Tc-glucarate activity continually and progressively increased in irreversibly injured myocardium. (99m)Tc-glucarate uptake was strongly correlated with myocardial necrosis as determined by three independent assessments of viability. There were minimal and similar (99m)Tc-glucarate uptakes in control, stunned, and hibernating myocardium.
