Recent Progresses in the Multimodality Imaging Assessment of Myocardial Fibrosis.
Review in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2024. 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
Myocardial fibrosis, a common pathophysiological consequence of various cardiovascular diseases, is characterized by fibroblast activation and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) collagen. Accumulating evidence indicates that myocardial fibrosis contributes to ventricular stiffness, systolic and diastolic dysfunction, and ultimately leads to the development of heart failure (HF). Early detection and targeted treatment of myocardial fibrosis is critical to reverse ventricular remodeling and improve clinical outcomes in patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, despite considerable progresses made in understanding molecular mechanisms of myocardial fibrosis, non-invasive imaging to assess myocardial fibrosis and guide clinical treatment is still not widely available, limiting the development of innovative treatment strategies. This review summarizes recent progresses of imaging modalities for detecting myocardial fibrosis, with a focus on nuclear medicine, echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
