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

All along, translational cardiovascular research has been dependent on non-invasive imaging (such as single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), echocardiography, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)), as these techniques allow the assessment of surrogate markers in intact living organisms non-invasively. PET offers the advantages of high sensitivity; the capability for longitudinal, quantitative imaging; and that an armamentarium of promising radiotracers is readily available. All commercially available PET scanners are equipped with a CT component, and thus, the often cited disadvantage of a lack of morphologic correlation does not really count anymore. This review aims to give an outline on PET as a promising tool for translational research in cardiology as dedicated preclinical systems with virtually the same imaging features as those used in clinical imaging allows the straightforward concept of "bench to bedside."
