Extracellular Volume by Computed Tomography Is Useful for Prediction of Prognosis in Dilated Cardiomyopathy Cases with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveCardiac computed tomography (CT) helps screen coronary artery stenosis in cases with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Extracellular volume fraction (ECV) analysis has recently been eligible for CT.
methodWe evaluated the impact of ECV on the CT to predict the prognosis in DCM patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). PATIENTS OR MATERIALS: We analyzed 101 consecutive DCM cases with HFrEF who underwent cardiac CT. All the patients had a lower left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) of less than 40%. We evaluated the effect of ECV to predict the patients' prognosis. Cardiovascular death, hospitalization due to heart failure, and fatal arrhythmic events were included in the major adverse cardiac events (MACE).
resultsMACE occurred in 27 cases (27%). The patients with MACE (27 cases) had an increased ECV on the LVM on the CT (37.2 ± 6.7 vs. 32.2 ± 3.6%,
conclusionsECV by CT is helpful to predict MACE in cases with DCM and HFrEF.
