Cardiac T2 mapping: robustness and homogeneity of standardized in-line analysis.

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
background and purposeInterpretation of T2 values remains difficult due to limited comparability across hardware and software systems and the lack of validated measurement recommendations for the number and orientation of mandatory slices. Our aims were to provide a standardized comparison of intra- and inter-individual T2 values in the short and long axes and to investigate inter-scanner reproducibility. METHOD AND MATERIALS: Ninety cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) studies in 30 healthy subjects were performed with three identical 1.5 T CMR scanners (same hardware and software) using a balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) gradient echo sequence in three short axis (SAx) and three long axis (LAx) views. A commercially available T2 mapping software package of the latest generation with automatic in-line motion correction was used for acquisition. Regions of interest were manually drawn in each of the 16 myocardial segments according to the American Heart Association (AHA) model in three SAx and three LAx acquisitions. Analysis of inter-scanner, inter-segmental, intra-segmental, inter-regional and inter-level differences was performed.
resultsInter-scanner reproducibility was high and the mean myocardial T2 value for all evaluated segments was 45.7 ± 3.4 ms. Significant inter-segmental variations of mean T2 values were found. Mean intra-segmental T2 values were comparable between LAx and SAx acquisitions in 72%. Significantly higher T2 values were found in apical segments and a significant disparity among different regions was found for SAx and LAx orientations.
conclusionStandardized cardiac T2 mapping is highly reproducible on identical CMR systems. T2 values vary significantly between single heart segments, regions, levels, and axes in young, healthy subjects.
