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

backgroundIn Spain, nuclear cardiology (NC) procedures represent the second most frequently performed studies in nuclear medicine (NM) centers.

methodsThe NC Working Group of the Spanish Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging invited NM departments across the country to answer an online questionnaire regarding 2014 activity.

resultsData on 40,161 patients from 42 centers were collected. The responding public centers served 39% of Spain´s population. The estimated NC activity for public hospitals was 2 studies/1,000 population/year. Of all the NC procedures, 69% were SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), 17% equilibrium ventriculography, 12%

conclusionsA major challenge for NC in Spain is the gradual adoption of high-sensitivity, low-dose-dedicated cardiac SPECT cameras and the broadening of cardiac PET utilization with more cameras, and the availability of MPI tracers alongside the viability/inflammation setup.
