Clinical impacts of scar reduction on gated myocardial perfusion SPECT after cardiac resynchronization therapy.

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
backgroundIt had not been reported that myocardial scar shown on gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (GMPS) might reduce after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). In this study, we aim to investigate the clinical impact and characteristic of scar reduction (SR) after CRT. METHODS AND
resultsSixty-one heart failure patients following standard indication for CRT received twice GMPS as pre- and post-CRT evaluations. The patients with an absolute reduction of scar ≥ 10% after CRT were classified as the SR group while the rest were classified as the non-SR group. The SR group (N = 22, 36%) showed more improvement on LV function (∆LVEF: 18.1 ± 12.4 vs 9.4 ± 9.9 %, P = 0.007, ∆ESV: - 91.6 ± 52.6 vs - 38.1 ± 46.5 mL, P < 0.001) and dyssynchrony (ΔPSD: - 26.19 ± 18.42 vs - 5.8 ± 23.0°, P < 0.001, Δ BW: - 128.7 ± 82.8 vs - 25.2 ± 109.0°, P < 0.001) than non-SR group (N = 39, 64%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed baseline QRSd (95% CI 1.019-1.100, P = 0.006) and pre-CRT Reduced Wall Thickening (RWT) (95% CI 1.016-1.173, P = 0.028) were independent predictors for the development of SR.
conclusionMore than one third of patients showed SR after CRT who had more post-CRT improvement on LV function and dyssynchrony than those without SR. Wider QRSd and higher RWT before CRT were related to the development of SR after CRT.
