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
backgroundLeft ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony by phase analysis has been studied by myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI)-gated SPECT in patients with LV dysfunction in various clinical settings. We aimed to investigate the routine use of phase analysis with gated SPECT for predicting cardiac outcome.
methodsPatients referred to a tertiary medical center in 2010-2011 prospectively underwent a gated SPECT and phase analysis, and follow-up for cardiac events. The values of clinical variables, MPI, LV function, and LV dyssynchrony in predicting cardiac events were tested by univariate and multivariate analyses.
resultsThe study group included 787 patients (66.5 ± 11 years, 81% men) followed for a mean duration of 18.3 ± 6.2 months. There were 45 (6%) cardiac events defined as composite endpoint; cardiac death occurred in 26 patients, and the rest had new-onset or worsening heart failure and life-threatening arrhythmias. In multivariate analysis, it was shown that NYHA class, diabetes mellitus, and LVEF <50% were the independent predictors for composite endpoint. However, the independent predictors for cardiac mortality were NYHA class (for each increment in class) and phase standard deviation (SD) (for each 10° increment).
conclusionGated SPECT with phase analysis for the assessment of LV dyssynchrony can successfully predict cardiac death together with NYHA class, in patients with LV dysfunction.
