A method to measure the extent of myocardial ischemia and steal with SPECT myocardial blood flow quantitation.
Article in Annals of nuclear medicine, 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
objectiveWe introduced a method to measure the extent of myocardial ischemia and steal with SPECT MBF quantitation.
methodsEighty-seven patients who received rest/Dipyridamole-stress
resultsCutoff point of the extent to detect ≥ 50% stenosis was 3.01% for ischemia-steal status and 20.3% for the combined status of ischemia-steal and moderate. Using these criteria, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy to detect ≥ 50% stenosis were (80%, 75%, 79%) and (86%, 68%, 80%) for ≥ 70% stenosis. The DP was superior to that of MFR < 2.0 criterion (≥ 50%: 70%, 63%, 69%; ≥ 70%: 73%, 61%, 69%) (all p < 0.015).
conclusionSPECT MBF quantitation integrated with the flow diagram can measure the extent of myocardial ischemia and steal which appeared more accurate to detect angiographic stenoses than the single MFR parameter.
