Accurate myocardial blood flow measurements: Quality from start to finish is key to success.
Article in Journal of nuclear cardiology : official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Overall repeatability and accuracy of myocardial blood flow measurements depend on the quality of the image data, the proper use of the quantitative software, and the training of clinical staff. Unlike most imaging tests, absolute blood flow measurements have the potential to provide accurate information beyond what is seen visually. This additive information has been shown to help identify multivessel disease, balanced ischemia, true normal studies, and quality control problems that may not be visible in the relative perfusion pattern. Absolute blood flow and flow reserve measurements have been shown to be useful and reproducible on a wide array of imaging systems, radiotracer delivery systems, and software approaches. Regardless of the technology or technique, these benefits can only be achieved when the quality of the study is sufficient and the clinical staff is properly trained on its implementation.
