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

objectiveThis study optimizes use of 3-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to delineate coronary venous anatomy and compares 3-T MRI with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) measurements.

methodsThe study population included 37 consecutive subjects (22 men, 19-71 years old). Whole-heart contrast-enhanced MRI images at 3 T were acquired using segmented k-space gradient echo with inversion recovery prepared technique. The MDCT images were obtained using nonionic iodinated contrast.

resultsThe coronary sinus and great cardiac, posterior interventricular, and anterior interventricular veins were visualized in 100% of cases by both MRI and MDCT. Detection of the posterior vein of the left ventricle and the left marginal vein by MRI was 97% and 81%, respectively. Bland-Altman plots showed agreement in ostial diameter measured by both modalities with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.5 to 0.76. Vein length and distances also agreed closely.

conclusionsFree-breathing whole-heart 3-dimensional MRI at 3 T provides high-spatial-resolution images and could offer an alternative imaging technique instead of MDCT scans.
