Lung water estimation on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for predicting adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with heart failure.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectivesPulmonary congestion is a central feature of heart failure (HF) seen in acute decompensated state as well as in chronic stable disease. The present study sought to determine whether simplified cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR)-derived lung water density (LWD) measurement has prognostic relevance in predicting adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with HF and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)<50%.
methodsEighty consecutive patients referred for CMR with HF and LVEF<50% along with 22 healthy age- and sex-matched controls were prospectively recruited. LWD was the lung-to-liver signal intensity ratio multiplied by 70% (estimated hepatic water density). The primary endpoint was composite of all-cause mortality or HF-related hospitalization within 6 months from CMR.
resultsThe mean LWD was significantly higher in HF patients compared to healthy controls (19.78 ± 6.1
conclusionLWD on CMR is independently associated with increased risk of mortality and HF-related hospitalization in HF patients with LVEF<50%. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Non-invasive quantitative estimation of LWD on CMR can improve risk stratification and guide management in HF patients.
