Trial report in Journal of nuclear cardiology : official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundWe compared silicone photomultipliers with digital photon counting (SiPM) and photomultiplier tubes (PMT) positron emission tomography (PET) in imaging coronary plaque activity with
methodsIn 25 cardiovascular disease patients (mean age 67 ± 12 years), we conducted
resultsThere were significant differences in image noise and background activity between the two PETs (Image noise (%), PMT: 7.6 ± 3.7 vs SiPM: 4.0 ± 2.3, P < 0.001; background activity, PMT: 1.4 ± 0.4 vs SiPM: 1.0 ± 0.3, P < 0.001). Similarly, the SNR and TBR were significantly higher in vessels scanned with the SiPM PET (SNR, PMT: 16.3 ± 11.5 vs SiPM: 32.7 ± 29.8, P < 0.001; TBR, PMT: 0.8 ± 0.4 vs SiPM: 1.1 ± 0.6, P < 0.001). SiPM PET image reconstruction with a 256 matrix, 1.4 mm pixel, and 2 mm Gaussian filter provided best trade off in terms of maximal SNR, TBR, and clinically practical file size.
