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
aimThe aim of this study was to compare CZT-SPECT (CZT SPECT) to conventional SPECT (C-SPECT) in the assessment of left ventricular myocardial scar, contractile function, and mechanical synchrony in patients with heart failure (HF).
methodsFifty-nine patients with HF who were referred for myocardial perfusion/metabolism imaging were enrolled. All patients underwent resting
resultsThere was a good correlation between CZT SPECT and C-SPECT for SRS and TPD. CZT SPECT tended to underestimate SRS and TPD compared to C-SPECT. CZT-SPECT and C-SPECT showed excellent agreement in assessing the perfusion/metabolism pattern though a small proportion of normal segments (6.6%) identified by CZT/PET exhibited mismatch pattern on C-SPECT/PET. CZT SPECT also showed excellent correlation with C-SPECT in measuring EDV, ESV, and EF. Finally, BW and SD measured by CZT SPECT correlated well with C-SPECT but CZT SPECT tended to overestimate BW and SD compared to C-SPECT.
conclusionCZT SPECT provided comparable data to C-SPECT for measuring LV scar, function and synchrony at a considerable reduction in imaging time. CZT SPECT holds a promise for comprehensive evaluation of myocardial performance in patients with HF.
