Behind Traditional Semi-quantitative Scores of Myocardial Perfusion Imaging: An Eye on Niche Parameters.
Review in European cardiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.

Abstract
The evaluation of stress-induced myocardial perfusion defects by non-invasive myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) modalities has a leading role in the identification of coronary artery disease, and has excellent diagnostic and prognostic value. Non-invasive MPI can be performed using conventional and novel gamma cameras or by PET/CT. New software has allowed novel parameters that may have a role in the identification of early marks of cardiac impairment to be evaluated. We aim to give an overview of niche parameters obtainable by single photon emission CT (SPECT) and PET/CT MPI that may help practitioners to detect initial signs of cardiac damage and identify new therapy targets. In particular, we summarise the role of left ventricular geometry indices for remodelling, phase analysis parameters to evaluate mechanical dyssynchrony, the concept of relative flow reserve in the evaluation of flow-limiting epicardial stenosis, vascular age and epicardial adipose tissue as early markers of atherosclerotic burden, and emerging parameters for the evaluation of myocardial innervation, such as the total defect score.
