Review in Current opinion in cardiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06964672 (Advanced Imaging With Photon Counting Computed Tomography in Heart Failure Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

purpose of reviewLeft ventricular systolic dysfunction because of coronary artery disease is common, and ascertaining which patients will benefit from revascularization can be challenging. Viability testing is an accepted means by which to base this decision, with multiple noninvasive imaging modalities available for this purpose. This review aims to highlight the key role of cardiac magnetic resonance in myocardial viability assessment, with a focus on its unique strengths over other imaging modalities. RECENT

findingsTransmural extent of hyperenhancement with late gadolinium imaging has been shown to be greater acutely in ST elevation myocardial infarction patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention and regress at follow-up studies. An explanation for this reported phenomenon and an argument against redefining CMR viability criteria in the acute setting will be offered. SUMMARY: Although not universally available, cardiac magnetic resonance is an exceptionally powerful and well tolerated imaging modality that should be considered when viability testing will influence patient management. Although observational outcomes data suggest a promising prognostic role for viability, randomized studies in this area are needed.
