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

backgroundThe relationship between perfusion pattern and stress-induced changes in left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD) on stress-rest thallium-201-gated SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (Tl-201 SPECT MPI) is not clear. The aim of the study is to assess the relation of perfusion pattern with stress-induced changes in LVMD on Tl-201 MPI.

methodsData of 194 patients who underwent exercise-rest Tl-201 MPI between January to December 2012 at our institute was retrospectively evaluated. Institute Ethical committee approval was obtained. Fifty patients who underwent Tl-201 MPI for suspected CAD and had normal LV perfusion and function on MPI were taken as normal group. Patients with perfusion abnormalities (n = 144) were divided into three groups: ischemia (n = 66), infarct (n = 32), and mixed group (n = 46; ischemia and infarct both). Summed stress score, summed rest score, summed difference score (SDS), and LV ejection fraction (EF) were evaluated. Two LVMD parameters, phase standard deviation (PSD) and phase histogram bandwidth (PHB), were assessed in post-stress and rest MPI images. ΔPSD (post-stress PSD - rest PSD) and ΔPHB (post-stress PHB - rest PHB) were calculated to measure stress-induced changes in LVMD.

resultsIn all the groups, mean post-stress LVMD parameters were lower as compared to LVMD parameters at rest. Post-stress PSD was significantly lower than rest PSD in all groups. Similar trend was noted with PHB values also, but it was statistically significant in the normal and ischemia group only. Post-stress worsening of at least one of the LVMD parameters was noted in 28 patients and all these patients had perfusion abnormalities. But on subgroup analysis, no difference was found in proportion of patients showing post-stress worsening of LVMD between ischemia (13.6%), infarct (25%), and mixed (23.6%) groups. No significant correlation was found between ΔPSD/ΔPHB and ΔLVEF/SDS in any group.

conclusionLV mechanical dyssynchrony parameters are smaller in post-exercise stress as compared to rest on Tl-201 MPI, regardless of perfusion pattern. Stress-induced worsening of LV dyssynchrony was observed only in patients with perfusion abnormalities, but this is not related to the type of perfusion abnormality.
