Variation of heart-to-mediastinal ratio in (123)I-mIBG cardiac sympathetic imaging: its affecting factors and potential corrections.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Studies have repeatedly shown the utility of (123)I-mIBG cardiac sympathetic imaging for identifying symptomatic heart failure patients most likely to experience adverse cardiac events. Delayed heart-to-mediastinal ratio (H/M) and washout rate derived from meta-iodobenzylguanidine (mIBG) scintigraphy have been used to monitor response to medical treatment. However, there is great variation of H/M ratio among publications from various institutions. The current article systemically reviews factors that can potentially affect H/M ratio, particularly the acquisition parameters, and proposes new approaches and/or procedures to standardize the imaging procedure and minimize the variation of H/M among institutions.
