Medication and ECG Patterns That May Hinder SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Scans.
Review in Pharmaceuticals (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death followed by cancer, in men and women. With risk factors being endemic and the increasing costs of healthcare for management and treatment, myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) finds a central role in risk stratification and prognosis for CAD patients, but it comes with its limitations in that the referring clinician and managing team must be aware of and use at their advantage. This narrative review examines the utility of myocardial perfusion scans in the diagnosis and management of patients with ECG alterations such as atrioventricular block (AVB), and medications including calcium channel blockers (CCB), beta blockers (BB), and nitroglycerin which may impact the interpretation of the exam. The review analyzes the current evidence and provides insights into the limitations, delving into the reasons behind some of the contraindications to MPI.
