Multimodality cardiac computed tomography angiography and magnetic resonance with clinical-grade scanners provide robust assessment of cardiac morphology and function in rabbits.

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
backgroundNon-invasive computer tomography (CT)- and magnetic resonance (MR)-based cardiac imaging still remains challenging in rodents. To investigate the robustness of non-invasive multimodality cardiac imaging in rabbits using clinical-grade CT and MR scanners.
methodsA total of 16 rabbits (2.7-4.0 kg) serially underwent cardiac-gated imaging using a clinical-grade 256-row CT and a 1.5 Tesla MR-scanner at baseline and at 4-month follow-up (16±1 weeks). Image analysis included image quality (5-grade scale), left ventricular (LV) volumes, LV stroke volume, LV diameters, LV wall thickness and ejection fraction (LVEF).
resultsCardiac MR (CMR) and CT angiography (CTA) provide images with an overall good image quality (excellent or good quality: CMR 82%
conclusionsMultimodality non-invasive assessment of cardiac function and aortic hemodynamics is feasible and robust in rabbits using clinical-grade and MR and CT scanners. These imaging modalities could improve serial cardiac assessment for disease monitoring in preclinical settings.
