Recent advances in positron emission tomography for detecting early fibrosis after myocardial infarction.
Review in Frontiers 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
Cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction is one of the key factors affecting patient prognosis. Myocardial fibrosis is an important pathological link of adverse ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction, and early fibrosis is reversible. Timely detection and intervention can effectively prevent its progression to irreversible ventricular remodeling. Although imaging modalities such as CMR and echocardiography can identify fibrosis, their sensitivity and specificity are limited, and they cannot detect early fibrosis or its activity level. Positron emission tomography (PET) allows non-invasive visualization of cellular and subcellular processes and can monitor and quantify molecules and proteins in the fibrotic pathway. It is valuable in assessing the extent of early myocardial fibrosis progression, selecting appropriate treatments, evaluating response to therapy, and determining the prognosis. In this article, we present a brief overview of mechanisms underlying myocardial fibrosis following myocardial infarction and several routine imaging techniques currently available for assessing fibrosis. Then, we focus on the application of PET molecular imaging in detecting fibrosis after myocardial infarction.
