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
objectivesThis prospective pilot study assessed the feasibility of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging during biventricular (BIV) pacing in patients with a CMR conditional cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) and compared the results with invasive volume measurements.
methodsTen CRT-D patients underwent CMR imaging prior to device implantation (baseline) and six weeks after device implantation, including CRT-on and CRT-off modes. Left ventricular (LV) function, volumes, and strain measurements of LV dyssynchrony and dyscoordination were assessed. Invasive pressure-volume measurements were performed, matching the CRT settings used during CMR.
resultsPost-implantation imaging enabled reliable cine assessment, but showed artefacts on late gadolinium enhancement images. After six weeks of CRT, significant reverse remodeling was observed, with a 22.7 ± 11% reduction in LV end-systolic volume during intrinsic rhythm (CRT-off). During CRT-on, the LV ejection fraction significantly improved from 27.4 ± 5.9% to 32.2 ± 8.7% (
conclusionsPost-CRT implantation CMR assessing acute LV pump function is feasible and provides important insights into the effects of BIV pacing on cardiac function and contraction patterns. LV assessment during CMR may constitute a future CRT optimization strategy.
