Early Gadolinium Enhancement for Determination of Area at Risk: A Preclinical Validation Study.
Article in JACC. Cardiovascular imaging, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to determine whether early gadolinium enhancement (EGE) by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in a canine model of reperfused myocardial infarction depicts the area at risk (AAR) as determined by microsphere blood flow analysis.
backgroundIt remains controversial whether only the irreversibly injured myocardium enhances when CMR is performed in the setting of acute myocardial infarction. Recently, EGE has been proposed as a measure of the AAR in acute myocardial infarction because it correlates well with T2-weighted imaging of the AAR, but this still requires pathological validation.
methodsEleven dogs underwent 2 h of coronary artery occlusion and 48 h of reperfusion before imaging at 1.5-T. EGE imaging was performed 3 min after contrast administration with coverage of the entire left ventricle. Late gadolinium enhancement imaging was performed between 10 and 15 min after contrast injection. AAR was defined as myocardium with blood flow <2 SD from remote myocardium determined by microspheres during occlusion. The size of infarction was determined with triphenyltetrazolium chloride.
resultsThere was no significant difference in the size of enhancement by EGE compared with the size of AAR by microspheres (44.1 ± 15.8% vs. 42.7 ± 9.2%; p = 0.61), with good correlation (r = 0.88; p < 0.001) and good agreement by Bland-Altman analysis (mean bias 1.4 ± 17.4%). There was no difference in the size of enhancement by EGE compared with enhancement on native T1 and T2 maps. The size of EGE was significantly greater than the infarct by triphenyltetrazolium chloride (44.1 ± 15.8% vs. 20.7 ± 14.4%; p < 0.001) and late gadolinium enhancement (44.1 ± 15.8% vs. 23.5 ± 12.7%; p < 0.001).
conclusionsAt 3 min post-contrast, EGE correlated well with the AAR by microspheres and CMR and was greater than infarct size. Thus, EGE enhances both reversibly and irreversibly injured myocardium.
