Effect of gender on spect myocardial perfusion imaging results in Egypt.

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
backgroundGlobally, Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is considered a leading cause of mortality and morbidity affecting men than women. The more the population ages, the more the prevalence. There was a concern about improper referral of women to MPI testing. We aimed to study if there a gender effect on the results of MPI studies and if this could have an impact on future referral or investigation selection for diagnosis of IHD as a general or specially in women.
resultsFemale gender represented 266 (60%) while male represented in 177 (40%). Males demonstrated significantly higher age (55 ± 10 vs. 49 ± 9, P < .0001), weight (85 ± 11 vs. 83 ± 13, P = 0.006), height (166 ± 4 vs. 165 ± 4, P = 0.02), and smoking (35% vs. 0%, P < 0.001) than females. Male gender was associated with ten times increased risk of positive MPI (OR = 10, 95% CI = 5.348-18.868, P < 0.001). Diabetes was associated with an increased risk of positive MPI (OR = 1.82, 95% CI = 1.052-3.148, P = 0.032).
conclusionsPositive MPI test are more common in males. Female patients with positive MPI were younger in age than male patients. Diabetes mellitus and age are traditional strong predictors for the presence of positive MPI test.
