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
backgroundIn recent years, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has received increasing clinical attention. To investigate the diagnostic value of diastolic function parameters derived from planar gated blood-pool imaging (MUGA) for detecting HFpEF in coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (coronary artery disease, CAD) patients.
methodsNinety-seven CAD patients with left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50% were included in the study. Based on the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), the patients were divided into the HFpEF group (LVEDP ≥ 16 mmHg, 47 cases) and the normal LV diastolic function group (LVEDP < 16 mmHg, 50 cases). Diastolic function parameters obtained by planar MUGA include peak filling rate (PFR), filling fraction during the first third of diastole (1/3FF), filling rate during the first third of diastole (1/3FR), mean filling rate during diastole (MFR), and peak filling time (TPF). Echocardiographic parameters include left atrial volume index (LAVI), peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity (peak TR velocity), transmitral diastolic early peak inflow velocity (E), average early diastolic velocities of mitral annulars (average e'), average E/e' ratio. The diastolic function parameters obtained by planar MUGA were compared with those obtained by echocardiography to explore the clinical value of planar MUGA for detecting HFpEF.
resultsThe Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis of diastolic function parameters obtained from planar MUGA and echocardiography to detect HFpEF showed that: among the parameters examined by planar MUGA, the area under the curve (AUC) of PFR, 1/3FF, 1/3FR, MFR and TPF were 0.827, 0.662, 0.653, 0.663 and 0.809, respectively. Among the echocardiographic parameters, the AUCs for average e', average E/e' ratio, peak TR velocity, and LAVI values were 0.747, 0.706, 0.735, and 0.633. The combination of PFR and TPF showed an AUC of 0.856. PFR combined with TPF value demonstrated better predictive value than average e' (Z = 2.020, P = 0.043).
conclusionDiastolic function parameters obtained by planar MUGA can be used to diagnose HFpEF in CAD patients. PFR combined with TPF was superior to the parameters obtained by echocardiography and showed good sensitivity and predictive power for detecting HFpEF.
