A high exercise workload of ≥ 10 METS predicts a low risk of significant ischemia and cardiac events in older adults.
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. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

6 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 8 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
backgroundPatients who achieve ≥ 10 METS during exercise SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) have very low rates of significant ischemia and major adverse cardiac events (MACE). It is unknown how many older adults can achieve ≥ 10 METS, and if low risk extends to this subgroup. METHODS AND
resultsWe examined the workload achieved, prevalence and predictors of ischemia, and MACE (cardiac death, non-fatal MI, late revascularization) in a cohort of 382 patients ≥ 65 years of age who underwent exercise
conclusionsA substantial proportion of older adults who undergo exercise SPECT MPI can achieve ≥ 10 METS. This subgroup has low rates of significant LV ischemia and MACE. The favorable diagnostic and prognostic implications of achieving a high workload in an older adult population suggest it is feasible, with certain exceptions, to include this subgroup in workload-based strategies of provisional imaging.
