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

Delayed-phase cardiac CT is a useful tool for scar detection, based on differences in the volume of distribution of iodine. Although it covers the entire heart, provides uniform, high isotropic spatial resolution, and therefore may be useful for detecting small late iodine enhancement (LIE), we need to correctly differentiate small LIE and pseudo-lesions mimicking LIE. In this case report, we demonstrate basal septal perforator vein mimicking LIE in delayed phase cardiac CT. Left ventricular myocardium includes not only septal vein and artery but also capillaries, arterio- and venoluminal vessels, and sinusoids, etc. which connect to septal veins. To avoid misinterpretations of myocardial LIE on the delayed phase images, we need to understand those anatomical features.
