Evaluation of Right Ventricular Myocardial Properties Using Systolic Myocardial T1 Mapping.

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
Introduction Myocardial properties can be quantitatively evaluated using myocardial native T1 values (nT1) obtained using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). In terms of myocardial wall thickness, the left ventricular nT1 is easy to measure, but the right ventricular nT1 is difficult. Patients with congenital heart disease often develop right ventricular overload. If right ventricular nT1 can be measured consistently, inflammation and fibrosis of the right ventricular myocardium can be quantitatively evaluated. We aimed to determine whether T1 mapping during systole can be used to evaluate right ventricular myocardial properties. Methods T1 mapping was performed at diastole and systole. Systolic T1 mapping was calculated from diastolic T1 mapping and cine images. The myocardial properties of both ventricles were evaluated in 13 healthy volunteers (21-26 years old) and 12 patients with right ventricular overload (12-41 years old) who underwent CMR examination at our hospital. Results From the analysis of left ventricular nT1, we found that nT1 did not change significantly during the cardiac cycle. However, right ventricular nT1 changed between diastole and systole because the right ventricle is affected by blood. Although there was no difference in right ventricular diastolic nT1 between the patients and volunteers (1,346.8 vs. 1,347.6 ms, p = 0.852), the right ventricular systolic nT1 was significantly higher in patients than in volunteers (1,312.7 vs. 1,233.8 ms, p = 0.002). This indicates that right ventricular myocardial damage occurs in patients with right ventricular overload. Conclusion Systolic right ventricular myocardial T1 mapping allows assessment of right ventricular myocardial properties. The right ventricular myocardial systolic nT1 is useful for evaluating myocardial damage due to right ventricular stress and myocardial injury. Measuring right ventricular nT1 may allow consideration of early therapeutic intervention.
