1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background and aims: Cardiac ParaGangliomas (PGLs) are rare extra-adrenal tumours that arise from chromaffin cells of the sympathetic ganglia. PGL are often diagnosed incidentally, with no symptoms or symptoms related to cardiovascular dysfunction. Methods: Cardiac Computed Tomography (CCT) and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) can detect the correct morphology and position of the lesion and provide proper tissue characterization.Nuclear medicine imaging, with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) or Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) with specific radiotracers, can evaluate the functionality of the PGL and to distinguish a secreting from a non-secreting tumour. Results: In association with biochemical parameters, a multimodal imaging approach, not yet standardized, can be useful both in the diagnosis, in the monitoring and in the treatment planning. Conclusions: In this systematic review, we aim to investigate the role of diagnostic imaging, in particular CCT, CMR, PET and SPECT in diagnosis, characterization and monitoring of cardiac PGLs.
