Impact of body mass index on cardiac adrenergic derangement in heart failure patients: a
Article in European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeTo assess the impact of body mass index (BMI) on cardiac adrenergic derangement, measured by iodine-123 meta-iodobenzylguanidine (
methodsWe prospectively enrolled patients with systolic HF, collecting demographic, clinical, echocardiographic data, and mIBG imaging parameters. In order to detect the factors associated with mIBG parameters, a model building strategy, based on the Multivariable Fractional Polynomial algorithm, has been employed.
resultsWe studied 249 patients with systolic HF, mean age of 66.4 ± 10.6 years, and mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 30.7% ± 6.4, undergoing cardiac
conclusionsResults of the present study indicate that BMI, together with LVEF and age, is independently correlated with cardiac mIBG uptake in HF patients.
