Myocardial Scar Delineation Using Diffusion Tensor Magnetic Resonance Tractography.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
backgroundLate gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is the current standard for myocardial scar delineation. In this study, we introduce the tractographic propagation angle (PA), a metric of myofiber curvature (degrees/unit distance) derived from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and compare its use to LGE and invasive scar assessment by endocardial voltage mapping. METHODS AND
resultsDTI was performed on 7 healthy human volunteers, 5 patients with myocardial infarction, 6 normal mice, and 7 mice with myocardial infarction. LGE to delineate the infarct and border zones was performed with a 2-dimensional inversion recovery gradient-echo sequence. Ex vivo DTI was performed on 5 normal human and 5 normal sheep hearts. Endocardial electroanatomic mapping and subsequent ex vivo DTI was performed on 5 infarcted sheep hearts. PA in the normal human hearts varied smoothly and was generally <4. The mean PA in the infarct zone was significantly elevated (10.34±1.02 versus 4.05±0.45,
conclusionsWe found a strong correlation between infarct size by PA and LGE in both mice and humans. There was also an inverse relationship between PA values and endocardial voltage. The use of PA may enable myocardial scar delineation and characterization of arrhythmogenic substrate without the need for exogenous contrast agents.
