Noninvasive estimation of quantitative myocardial blood flow with Tc-99m MIBI by a compartment model analysis in rat.
Article in Journal of nuclear cardiology : official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundWe aimed to investigate the use of dynamic cardiac planar images to estimate myocardial blood flow (MBF) by a compartment model analysis using time-to-peak (TP) map and compared it by the microsphere technique in rat. Positron emission tomography is considered the gold standard method, but is not available everywhere. By contrast, although myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with single-photon tracers is more widely available, it may be difficult to obtain adequate region of interest (ROI) settings. We proposed using the TP map to set the ROI, and hypothesized that this method could facilitate the measurement of absolute MBF by MPI in rat.
methodsTwenty-one normal rats were studied. Dynamic planar images with Tc-99m MIBI were obtained, and input function and cardiac ROIs were set using the obtained TP map. MBF was estimated by a one-compartment model analysis with the Renkin-Crone model and by the microsphere technique.
resultsThe MBFs from these two methods were significantly correlated. A negative proportional bias was observed, but no significant difference was observed between the mean MBFs calculated with each method.
conclusionsMBF estimation by a compartment model analysis using TP map could facilitate absolute MBF measurement in rats.
