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

Myocardial native T1 and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) mapping have emerged as cardiac magnetic resonance biomarkers providing unique insight into cardiac pathophysiology. Single breath-hold acquisition techniques, available on clinical scanners across multiple vendor platforms, have made clinical T1 and ECV mapping a reality. Although the relationship between changes in native T1 and alterations in cardiac microstructure is complex, an understanding of how edema, blood volume, myocyte and interstitial expansion, lipids, and paramagnetic substances affect T1 and ECV can provide insight into how and why these parameters change in various cardiac pathologies. The goals of this state-of-the-art review will be to review factors influencing native T1 and ECV, to describe how native T1 and ECV are measured, to discuss potential challenges and pitfalls in clinical practice, and to describe new T1 mapping techniques on the horizon.
