Comparison of single-source cardiac CT and CMR quantified ventricular volumes and function in congenital heart disease.

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
backgroundCardiac CT (CCT) is important for anatomic evaluation of congenital heart disease (CHD) prior to pulmonary valve replacement (PVR). However, volumetric and functional criteria for PVR are derived from cardiac MRI (CMR). Systematic differences between CCT and CMR volumes are underexplored in patients with CHD.
methodsRetrospective review of CHD patients with CMR and single-source CCT<180 days apart. Ventricular volumes were recontoured by blinded experts and global agreement was compared. Right ventricular regional differences in contours were assessed. Agreement of CCT with CMR-defined criteria for PVR was reported.
resultsTwenty-nine patients (mean age 33 years, 48 % tetralogy of Fallot, 24 % congenital pulmonary stenosis, 83 % evaluated for PVR) had average CMR RVEDVi 152 mL/m
conclusionsSingle-source CCT measures higher RV volumes and lower EF compared to CMR (i.e. more adversely-remodeled). Mechanisms include inferior stretch due to differences in breathing-instruction, and misidentification of end-systole. CMR-derived PVR thresholds applied to CCT would lead to more proactive intervention. "Adjusting" single-source CCT volumes by the observed difference between modalities is a reasonable approach. Single-source CCT-specific volumetric recommendations for PVR are needed.
