Role of PET-CT in the assessment of myocardial viability in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.
Article in Indian heart journal. 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
aimRole of PET-CT in assessment of myocardial viability in patients with LV dysfunction.
methodsThis prospective study included 120 patients with LV dysfunction who underwent 99mTechnetium-Sestamibi myocardial perfusion SPECT-CT and 18FFDG cardiac PET-CT. They also underwent serial echocardiography and coronary angiography along with myocardial perfusion and FDG PET study.
resultsThirty-three patients had single vessel disease, 48 had triple vessel disease, and rest had double vessel disease. Among 786 segments, matched defects were seen in 432 (55%) and mismatched defects in 354 (45%) segments. 78 patients were surgically managed, and 42 were medically managed. The change in LVEF after surgical management was statistically significant compared to medical management.
conclusionViability assessment should be performed in patients who present after 12h of acute myocardial infarction or with LV dysfunction due to ischemic heart disease to decide upon appropriate surgical management.
