Long-term prognostic value of computed tomography-based attenuation correction on thallium-201 myocardial perfusion imaging: A cohort study.
Article in PloS one, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundMyocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is a well-established diagnostic tool to evaluate coronary artery disease (CAD) and also an effective prognostic tool for patients with CAD. However, few studies investigated the prognostic value of attenuation correction (AC) in MPI, and the results were controversial.
objectivesTo investigate the prognostic value of computed tomography (CT)-based AC thallium-201 (Tl-201) MPI.
methodsA total of 108 consecutive patients who underwent Tl-201 MPI and received coronary angiography within 90 days were included. Medical records were reviewed and missing information was completed after telephone contact. The prognostic value was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier analysis, univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards model.
resultsAfter a mean follow-up of 7.72 ± 3.72 years, 27 patients had died, 41 had been readmitted for cardiovascular (CV)-related events and 44 had reached the composite of death plus CV-related re-admission. Kaplan-Meier curves for all-cause mortality for SSS with a cutoff value of 13 for AC and 16 for non-AC (NAC) images showed a significant difference between the two curves for both AC and NAC images (p = 0.011 for AC and p = 0.021 for NAC). In the multivariable model, SSS and SRS showed similar independent predictive values in predicting all-cause mortality and composite of all-cause mortality plus CV-related re-admission, in both AC and NAC images. Subgroup analysis implicated that AC MPI possibly provided better risk stratification in obese patients.
conclusionCT-based AC and NAC MPI showed similar value and were the only significant predictors for the composite of mortality and CV events.
