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

Noninvasive imaging modalities offer the possibility to dynamically evaluate cardiac motion during the cardiac cycle by means of ECG-gated acquisitions. Such motion characterization along with orientation, segmentation preprocessing, and ultimately, phase analysis, can provide quantitative estimates of ventricular mechanical synchrony. Current evidence on the role of mechanical synchrony evaluation is mainly available for echocardiography and gated single-photon emission computed tomography, but less is known about the utilization of gated positron emission tomography (PET). Although data available are sparse, there is indication that mechanical synchrony evaluation can be of diagnostic and prognostic values in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease-related myocardial ischemia, prediction of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy, and estimation of risk for adverse cardiac events in patients' heart failure. As such, the evaluation of mechanical ventricular synchrony through phase analysis of gated acquisitions represents a value addition to modern cardiac PET imaging modality, which warrants further research and development in the evaluation of patients with cardiovascular disease.
