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

To compare contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (ceMRA) and 3D steady-state free precession (SSFP) during systole and diastole for assessment of the right ventricle outflow tract (RVOT) in patients considered for percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair. We retrospectively evaluated 89 patients (male: 45, mean age 19 ± 8 years), who underwent cardiac-MRI after surgical TOF-repair. Datasets covering the whole heart in systole and diastole were acquired using ECG-gated 3D SSFP and non-gated ceMRA. Measurements were performed in SSFP-sequences and in ceMRA in the narrowest region of the RVOT to obtain the minimum, maximum and effective diameter. Invasive balloon sizing as the gold standard was available in 12 patients. The minimum diameter in diastolic SSFP, systolic SSFP and ceMRA were 21.4 mm (± 6.1 mm), 22.6 mm (± 6.2 mm) and 22.6 mm (± 6.0 mm), respectively. Maximum diameter was 29.9 mm (± 9.5 mm), 30.0 mm (± 7.0 mm) and 28.8 mm (± 8.1 mm) respectively. The effective diameter was 23.2 mm (± 5.7 mm), 27.4 mm (± 6.7 mm) and 24.4 mm (± 6.2 mm), differing significantly between diastole and systole (p < 0.0001). Measurements in ECG-gated SSFP showed a better inter- and intraobserver variability compared to measurements in non-ECG-gated ceMRA. Comparing invasive balloon sizing with our analysis, we found the highest correlation coefficients for the maximum and effective diameter measured in systolic SSFP (R = 0.99 respectively). ECG-gated 3D SSFP enables the identification and characterization of a potential landing zone for PPVI. The maximum and effective systolic diameter allow precise sizing for PPVI. Patients with TOF-repair could benefit from cardiac MRI before PPVI.
