The prevalence and predictive accuracy of quantitatively defined transient ischemic dilation of the left ventricle on otherwise normal SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging studies.
Article in Journal of nuclear cardiology : official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
aimTID in the setting of otherwise normal MPI has been suggested as a marker of high risk CAD. In this study we estimate the variance of TID in a normal population and the statistical frequency of false positive TID. This will provide an indirect measurement of predictive accuracy (PA) in a mixed referral population.
objectiveTo study the PA of TID in otherwise normal MPI.
methods688 consecutive patients were studied. We defined TID according to the standard method at 2 cut-off values; 1SD and 2SD, and also by a BSA normalized volume difference with gender-specific 2SD limits (NrVD).
results457 patients with otherwise normal MPI were analyzed. PA of TID at 1SD was 4% and 26% at 2SD. PA was slightly higher (42%) using the NrVD, however, still too low to be clinically useful as a high-risk marker. PA of TID in patients with perfusion abnormalities was 58% at 1SD, 80% at 2SD and slightly higher (93%) by NrVD.
conclusionsIn the setting of otherwise normal MPI, elevated TIDr has a low prevalence and poor predictive accuracy and should not be considered summarily as a marker of high risk CAD.
