Part 2 - Coronary angiography with gadofosveset trisodium: a prospective intra-subject comparison for dose optimization for 100 % efficiency imaging.
Trial report in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01853592 (A Pilot Dosing Study for Gadofosveset Trisodium), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
backgroundThree tesla (3T) coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) may be optimized using gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) such as gadofosveset trisodium. The goal of this study was to evaluate if there is a qualitative or quantitative improvement in the coronary arteries with variation in contrast dose.
methodsTwenty-eight healthy volunteers were prospectively recruited for coronary MRA at 3T using a steady state injection technique for 3D radial whole-heart image acquisition with retrospective respiratory self-gating (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01853592). Nineteen volunteers completed both single- and double-dose imaging instances (0.03 and 0.06 mmol/kg, respectively). Intra-individual comparison of image quality was assessed by measurement of apparent signal/contrast-to-noise ratio (aSNR/aCNR) and subjective evaluation of image quality by 2 independent reviewers.
resultsThe average duration of coronary MRA acquisition was 7.2 ± 1.2 min. There was significantly higher (60 %, p < 0.001) aSNR of the aorta and right/left ventricle for the double dose compared to single dose injection scheme and aSNR of the coronary arteries increased by 70 % (p < 0.001) for the double dose injection. aCNR increased by +55 % and +60 % in the ventricles and coronary arteries, respectively (p < 0.001). Overall segmental artery visualization for single dose was possible 47 % of the time, which improved to 60 % with double dose (p = 0.019), predominantly driven by improvements in more distal segment visualization (+40 % improvement in mid arterial segments, p = 0.013).
conclusionsGadofosveset trisodium dose of 0.06 mmol/kg significantly quantitatively and qualitatively improves the coronary artery image quality compared to 0.03 mmol/kg at 3T for moderate duration (6-8 min) steady state contrast enhanced coronary MRA.
