Spectral CT imaging of myocardial infarction: preliminary animal experience.
Article in European radiology, 2013. 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
objectivesTo evaluate the capability of spectral CT imaging to detect the different stages and angiogenesis of myocardial infarction (MI).
methodsMI was surgically induced in 40 rabbits that were evenly divided into four stages of MI: 6 h (6H), 3 days (3D), 7 days (7D) and 14 days (14D). Spectral CT was performed at 10 s, 1 min and 3 min after intravenous contrast medium administration. CD31 immunohistochemistry was used for the microvessel density (MVD) measurement. Iodine concentrations in the myocardium were measured and normalised to the aorta as nIC. The relationships between infarcted myocardial nIC and MVD were analysed.
resultsThe nIC of infarct myocardium decreased at 10 s and increased in late-phase CT images. There were significant differences between the 6H and other groups (P ( 6H-3D ) = 0.01, P ( 6H-7D ) = 0.01, P ( 6H-14D ) = 0.00). There was a significant difference in the MVD of infarct myocardium between the two groups except in the 7D and 14D groups (P = 0.08). In the 10-s phase, the nIC of infarct myocardium was negatively correlated with MVD (r = -0.54, P = 0.00), whereas in the late phases, there was a positive correlation between them (r = 0.57, P = 0.00 in the 1-min phase, r = 0.48, P = 0.00 in the 3-min phase).
conclusionSpectral CT imaging of the myocardium can be used to evaluate the different stages and angiogenesis of MI.
