Planar radionuclide angiography with a dedicated cardiac SPECT camera.
Article in Journal of nuclear cardiology : official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundWe compared a dedicated cardiac camera with a traditional system for left ventricular (LV) functional measurements using gated blood-pool imaging.
methods24-frame gated planar images were obtained from 48 patients in an LAO orientation for 6M counts/view on a standard gamma camera. Immediately thereafter, 24-frame ECG-gated data were obtained for 8 minutes on a dedicated cardiac SPECT camera. The gated SPECT image volumes were iteratively reconstructed and then transferred offline. In-house software was used to reproject the images into a 24-frame gated planar format. Both the original and the reprojected gated planar datasets were analyzed using semiautomated software to determine ejection fraction (EF), ventricular volume (end diastolic volume, EDV), peak ejection rate (PER), and peak filling rate (PFR).
resultsThe difference in EF values averaged 0.4% ± 4.4%. The correlation in EF was r ≥ 0.94 (P < .01) with a linear regression slope of 0.98. Correlation of the EDV was r ≥ 0.86 (P < .01), but the volumes from the dedicated cardiac camera were smaller (linear regression slope was 0.6). Correlation of PFR and PER were r = 0.91 and r ≥ 0.83, respectively (P < .01 for both).
conclusionsReprojection of 24-frame gated blood-pool SPECT images is an effective means of obtaining LV functional measurements with a dedicated cardiac SPECT camera using standard 2D-planar analysis tools.
