Accurate diagnosis of ischemic heart disease without exposure to radiation using non-stress unshielded magnetocardiography.
Article in American heart journal plus : cardiology research and practice, 2025. 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
Study objectives: To evaluate the capability and accuracy of magnetocardiography (MCG) to identify patients with ischemic chest pain from those with non-ischemic pain and to verify normalcy in the MCG in healthy subjects. Design: We studied 133 patients (mean age 59 ± 14 years, 69 % male) with chronic or acute chest pain syndrome and 63 healthy subjects (mean age 41.7 ± 12.2 years, 51 % male) using unshielded cryogenically cooled MCG systems (Cardiomag Imaging Inc., 9 and 36 channels) in a general clinical setting. Scan time was 90 s to 6 min. Interventions: The MCG data were processed with the same automated analysis software and results were immediately available. All patients were chest pain free at the time of scanning. Results: A diagnosis of ischemic chest pain was established in 41 % after non-invasive and invasive testing. Rest MCG was normal in all healthy subjects. An abnormal rest MCG was strongly associated with ischemic chest pain, Conclusion: Resting MCG is a rapid risk-free method for the detection of ischemic chest pain without the use of radiation or contrast with results comparable with stress SPECT.
