Efficacy of Novel Noncontrast Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Methods in Indicating Fibrosis in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
Article in Cardiology research and practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveIn hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), myocardial fibrosis is routinely shown by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. We evaluated the efficacy of 2 novel contrast-free CMR methods, namely, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and feature-tracking (FT) method, in detecting myocardial fibrosis.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 26 patients with HCM. Visual and quantitative comparisons were made between DWI and LGE images. Regional longitudinal, circumferential, and radial strains were compared between LGE-positive and LGE-negative segments. Moreover, global strains were compared between LGE-positive and LGE-negative patients as well as between patients with mild and marked LGE.
resultsAll 3 strains showed significant differences between LGE-positive and LGE-negative segments (
conclusionsFT-CMR, especially regional circumferential strain, can reliably show fibrosis-containing segments in HCM. Further, DWI can function as an efficient qualitative method for the estimation of the fibrosis extent in HCM.
