Diagnostic performance of low-dose rest/stress Tc-99m tetrofosmin myocardial perfusion SPECT using the 530c CZT camera: quantitative vs visual analysis.
Article in Journal of nuclear cardiology : official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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 set out to develop normal databases and prospectively validate abnormality criteria for a low-dose Tc-99m tetrofosmin myocardial perfusion SPECT protocol using the 530c CZT camera.
methodsAll patients received 6 mCi rest/20 mCi stress doses of Tc-99m tetrofosmin. Rest and stress images were obtained over 7-9 and 5-7 minutes according to the chest size. Low-dose CT of the chest was obtained on a standalone CT scanner. Forty patients with very low likelihood (LLK) of coronary artery disease (CAD) were used to define the normal count distributions. The abnormality criteria were prospectively validated in 55 patients who had coronary angiography and in 40 patients with LLK of CAD.
resultsThe results for quantitative non-attenuation-corrected (AC) and AC analysis and visual analysis were as follows: sensitivity of 79%, 85%, and 92% (P = NS) and specificity of 44%, 75%, and 56% (P = NS), respectively. The normalcy rates for quantitative non-AC and AC analyses and visual analysis were 95%, 98%, and 98% (P = NS).
conclusionsWe have developed non-AC and AC normal databases for low-dose rest/stress Tc-99m tetrofosmin myocardial perfusion SPECT protocol using the 530c CZT camera. The per-patient diagnostic performance of quantitative analyses is not significantly different from visual analysis by an experienced reader.
