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

backgroundConsidering the few reported cardiac masses, PET/CT in the imaging workup of cardiac masses is not well established. This retrospective study analyzed the role of METHODS AND

resultsFifty-nine patients with newly diagnosed cardiac/pericardial masses who underwent PET/CT and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) were recruited. Echocardiographic and PET/CT characteristics were evaluated for predictive value in differentiating malignant and non-malignant lesions using histologic confirmation as the gold standard. The McNemar test was used to test the differences in sensitivity between PET/CT and TTE.

conclusionsPET/CT was an effective additional image modality in patients with suspected malignant cardiac mass for further confirmation and to screen for potential metastasis.
