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

purposeThe heart rate response (HRR, percentage change from baseline) to regadenoson during myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) can provide incremental prognostic value in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. Our purpose was to evaluate the variability and prognostic value of HRR on serial measurements.

methodsWe studied 648 consecutive patients (61 ± 11 years, 48 % with diabetes) who underwent two regadenoson MPI studies (16 ± 9 months between studies). HRR <30 % was defined as abnormal. All-cause mortality was determined by chart review and verified using the US Social Security Death Master File.

resultsHRR was well correlated between the two studies (intraclass correlation coefficient 0.72, 95 % CI 0.67 - 0.76) with no systematic bias (mean difference 0.88 %, p = 0.2) or proportional bias (p = 0.5) by Bland-Altman analysis in all patients and in those with normal MPI on both studies. Of the 308 patients (48 %) with normal baseline HRR (HRR-1), 33 % had developed a blunted HRR on the second MPI study (HRR-2). Older age, male gender, end-stage renal disease, and abnormal baseline left ventricular ejection fraction were independent predictors of a new-onset abnormal HRR. During a mean follow-up of 2.4 ± 1.2 years, 55 patients (8.5 %) died. Patients with a blunted HRR-1 had increased mortality risk irrespective of their HRR-2 (p = 0.9, log-rank test). Among patients with normal HRR-1, a blunted HRR-2 was an independent predictor of all-cause mortality beyond clinical and traditional MPI data (hazard ratio 2.83, 95 % CI 1.14 - 7.03). Finally, patients with a normal HRR-1 and HRR-2 had the lowest event rate, while those with any abnormal HRR had an increased risk of death (hazard ratio 2.5, 95 % CI 1.2 - 5.4).

conclusionThere was good correlation in the HRR to regadenoson on serial measurements without systematic or proportional biases. Patients with consistently normal HRR had the best prognosis.
