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

backgroundThe diagnostic performance of SPECT-only imaging for takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is limited due to the lack of coronary artery distribution information. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of hybrid cardiac SPECT/CT for patients with TC or acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

methodsTwenty-two patients with apical ballooning left ventricular (LV) dysfunction who underwent cardiac perfusion SPECT using

resultsSMDS and SBDS did not significantly differ between TC and ACS patients [SMDS: 5 (3-7) vs. 8 (4-16),

conclusionsHybrid cardiac SPECT/CT imaging may have superior diagnostic performance compared with SPECT-only imaging for patients with TC.
