1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Technetium-99 pyrophosphate scintigraphy (99mTc-PYP) provides qualitative and semiquantitative diagnosis of ATTR cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) using the Perugini scoring system and heart/contralateral heart ratio (H/CL) on planar imaging. Standardized uptake values (SUV) with quantitative single photon emission computed tomography (xSPECT/CT) can offer superior diagnostic accuracy and quantification through precise myocardial contouring that enhances assessment of ATTR-CA burden. We examined the correlation of xSPECT/CT SUVs with Perugini score and H/CL ratio. We also assessed SUV correlation with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), echocardiographic, and baseline clinical characteristics. Retrospective review of 78 patients with suspected ATTR-CA that underwent 99mTc-PYP scintigraphy with xSPECT/CT. Patients were grouped off Perugini score (Grade 0-1 and Grade 2-3), H/CL ratio (≥ 1.5 and < 1.5). Two cohorts were also created: myocardium SUV
