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

aimTo assess whether susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) provides better image contrast for the detection of haemorrhagic ischaemia-reperfusion injury in the heart. MATERIALS AND

methodsThirty patients (all men; mean age 53 years) underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 7 days of primary percutaneous intervention for acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Multiple gradient-echo T2* sequences with magnitude and phase reconstructions were acquired. A high-pass filtered phase map was used to create a mask for the SWI reconstructions. The difference in image contrast was assessed in those patients with microvascular obstruction. A mixed effects regression model was used to test the effect of echo time and reconstruction method on phase and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). Medians and interquartile ranges (IQR) are reported.

resultsT2* in haemorrhagic infarcts was shorter than in non-haemorrhagic infarcts (33.5 ms [24.9-43] versus 49.9 ms [44.6-67.6]; p=0.0007). The effect of echo time on phase was significant (p<0.0001), as was the effect of haemorrhage on phase (p=0.0016). SWI reconstruction had a significant effect on the CNR at all echo times (echoes 1-5, p<0.0001; echo 6, p=0.01; echo 7, p=0.02). The median echo number at which haemorrhage was first visible was less for SWI compared to source images (echo 2 versus echo 5, p=0.0002).

conclusionCardiac SWI improves the contrast between myocardial haemorrhage and the surrounding tissue following STEMI and has potential as a new tool for identifying patients with ischaemia-reperfusion injury.
