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

The first part of the review describes the basic aspects of interpreting myocardial perfusion defects in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scintigraphy. It also presents indications for invasive diagnostics based on stress perfusion defects. This article provides basic information concerning the interpretation of gated SPECT imaging, including such parameters as left ventricular wall motion and thickening as well as left ventricular wall systolic and diastolic function. Gated examination combined with the assessment of myocardial perfusion reduces the rate of false positives results of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy in perfusion tests, additionally providing data on left ventricular systolic and diastolic function.
