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

backgroundPET/CT is the standard for quantitative assessments of myocardial blood flow (MBF), but it requires short-lived-tracers, costly, and not widely available. SPECT with Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) detectors allows dynamic acquisition and quantitation of MBF. The study aims were to compare MBF measurements by

methods54 patients were evaluated at rest and during vasodilation by

resultsThe global rest MBF was 0.76 ± 0.19 mL/min/gr by PET and 0.76 ± 0.24 by AC-CZT (P = NS) and 1.14 ± 0.4 by NAC-CZT (P < 0.001 vs PET and AC-CZT). Stress MBF was higher when measured by PET than AC-CZT (1.87 ± 0.45 vs 1.62 ± 0.68 mL/min/gr, P < 0.0008), but lower than NAC-CZT (2.36 ± 1.1, P < 0.0003). The MBF reserve ratio (MFR) was higher by PET than AC-CZT (2.52 ± 0.56 vs 2.22 ± 1 (P < 0.009) and NAC-CZT (2.18 ± 1.0, P < 0.004). Linear regression was better between PET (MFR and stress MBF) and AC-CZT than between PET and NAC-CZT. ROC curve analysis showed the significant ability of AC-CZT to predict MFR < 2 and stress MBF < 1.7 (AUC = 0.75 and 0.82 respectively) and to differentiate between normal and CAD patients (AUC = 0.747 and 0.892 for MFR and stress MBF, respectively).

conclusionsOur data show a reasonable correlation between MBF and MFR measured by N
