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

Objectives: To systematically compare two modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) T1 mapping sequences and their impact on (1) myocardial T1 values native, (2) post-contrast and (3) extracellular volume (ECV). Methods: 200 patients were prospectively included for 1.5 T CMR for work-up of ischemic or non-ischemic cardiomyopathies. To determine native and post-contrast T1 for ECV calculation, two different T1 mapping MOLLI acquisition schemes, 5(3)3 (designed for native scans with long T1) and 4(1)3(1)2 (designed for post-contrast scans with short T1), were acquired in identical mid-ventricular short-axis slices. Both schemes were acquired in native and post-contrast scans. Results: Datasets from 163 patients were evaluated (age 55 ± 17 years; 38% female). Myocardial T1 native for 5(3)3 was 1017 ± 42 ms vs. 956 ± 40 ms for 4(1)3(1)2, with mean intraindividual difference −61 ms (p < 0.0001). Post-contrast myocardial T1 in patients was similar for both acquisition schemes, with 494 ± 48 ms for 5(3)3 and 490 ± 45 ms for 4(1)3(1)2 and mean intraindividual difference −4 ms. Myocardial ECV for 5(3)3 was 27.6 ± 4% vs. 27 ± 4% for 4(1)3(1)2, with mean difference −0.6 percentage points (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: The T1 MOLLI 5(3)3 acquisition scheme provides a reliable estimation of myocardial T1 for the clinically relevant range of long and short T1 values native and post-contrast. In contrast, the T1 MOLLI 4(1)3(1)2 acquisition scheme may only be used for post-contrast scans according to its designed purpose.
