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 purpose of this study was to assess the prognostic value of ultra-low dose thallium myocardial perfusion imaging. Three hundred and sixty-six patients (245 men) underwent ultra-low dose stress-redistribution imaging on CZT SPECT camera GE Discovery NM 530c. The stress test was performed by bicycle ergometry or regadenoson injection. The activity of 0.5 MBq (0.014 mCi) Tl-201 chloride per kilogram of body weight was administered. The stress images were acquired immediately and redistribution images were taken after 3 h. Patient follow-up was focused on combined end-point (death, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, revascularization and hospitalization for heart failure). Data analysis was performed from hospital database, with a mean period 23 months. Patients with revascularization within 1 month after SPECT was excluded as revascularization for diagnosis. Ischaemia on SPECT was found in 72 patients, 294 patients were without ischaemia. In patients with ischaemia there were 21 (29.2%) subjects with cardiac events, and 23 (7.9%) in patients without ischaemia (HR 4.15, 95% CI 2.30-7.51, p < 0.0001). Ultra-low dose thallium perfusion imaging using CZT camera provides very good prognostic results in assessment of myocardial ischaemia.
