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
purposeChemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity is one of the main complications during and after cancer treatment. While echocardiography is the most used technique in clinical practice to evaluate left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, a multimodal approach is preferred for the early detection of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. In this paper, an image processing tool allowing the qualitative and quantitative analysis of myocardial metabolic activity by [
methodsThe methodology is based on cardiac single photon emission computed tomography image processing protocols used in clinical practice. LV polar maps are created, and quantitative regional values are calculated. The tool was validated in a study group of 24 patients with Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (HL and NHL, respectively) treated with anthracyclines. Staging, interim and end-of-treatment [
resultsResults show an overall increase of metabolic activity in the interim PET image acquired while on treatment compared to staging PET, which then decreased in the end-of-treatment scan. Positive correlation coefficients between staging and interim scans, and negative correlation coefficients between interim and end-of-treatment scans also support this finding. Metabolic changes occur predominantly in the septal region.
conclusionThe proposed methodology and presented software solution provides the capability to assess quantitatively myocardial metabolism acquired by routine [
