1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

PET-myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) allows accurate measurement of myocardial perfusion, absolute myocardial blood flow and function at stress and rest in a single study session performed in approximately 30 min. Various PET tracers are available for MPI, and rubidium-82 or nitrogen-13-ammonia is most commonly used. In addition, a new fluorine-18-based PET-MPI tracer is currently being evaluated. Relative quantification of PET perfusion images shows very high diagnostic accuracy for detection of obstructive coronary artery disease. Dynamic myocardial blood flow analysis has demonstrated additional prognostic value beyond relative perfusion imaging. Patient radiation dose can be reduced and image quality can be improved with latest advances in PET/CT equipment. Simultaneous assessment of both anatomy and perfusion by hybrid PET/CT can result in improved diagnostic accuracy. Compared with SPECT-MPI, PET-MPI provides higher diagnostic accuracy, using lower radiation doses during a shorter examination time period for the detection of coronary artery disease.
