Dark-blood late gadolinium-enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for myocardial scar detection based on simplified timing scheme: single-center experience in patients with suspected coronary artery disease.

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
backgroundThis study aims to examine scar detectability using dark-blood late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) with simplified timing scheme and fixed parameters comparing to two conventional bright-blood approaches in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease.
methodsThree LGE techniques were performed in all patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease at 3 T: dark blood two-dimensional (2D) phase-sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) preceded with a T2-preparation pulse (DB-LGE), conventional three-dimensional (3D) gradient-echo inversion recovery (3D-IR) and conventional 2D PSIR. Timing parameters in DB-LGE were tested in five clinically confirmed coronary artery disease patients with scars and fixed for the rest of the study. Two independent readers evaluated images at both patient and segment levels. Image quality and contrast ratio between scar and adjacent tissues were assessed. Concordance between the three techniques and detection rate based on expert consensus were reported.
resultsForty-six patients were recruited in the study (average age 66.8 years, 69.6% male). DB-LGE demonstrated superior image quality (P=0.001
conclusionsDB-LGE improves detection of myocardial scar compared with conventional bright-blood LGE techniques, particularly of subendocardial scar.
