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

backgroundRespiratory-related cardiac motion could have considerable effects on myocardial perfusion imaging, leading to misinterpretation of the images. In this study, we examined the influence of respiratory correction on ECG-gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (RC-GSPECT) concerning regional myocardial perfusion and function. MATERIALS AND

methodsUsing the NCAT phantom, a typical torso phantom was generated. SimSET, a Monte Carlo simulator, was used to image the photon emerging from the phantom. Twenty-six patients underwent a 2-day stress-rest ECG-gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (GSPECT) imaging. A separate study was also performed by simultaneous respiratory and cardiac triggering with the real-time position management (RPM) for respiratory correction (RC).

resultsIn simulation study, count density in the inferior and inferoseptal walls increased in the lower bin of the respiratory cycle. On the other hand, there was a higher correlation between RC-GSPECT and echocardiography for left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (r = 0.95, P < .01 vs r = 0.88, P < .01 for GSPECT).

conclusionWe proposed a new approach for respiratory and cardiac-gated SPECT to eliminate respiratory motion artifacts. RC-GSPECT is a feasible method in MPI studies and may play an important role to improve the quality of MPI images, particularly in the inferior wall.
