Diagnostic usefulness and limitation of cardiac magnetic resonance for identifying myocardial damage in survivors of cardiac arrest in midtown.
Article in World journal of radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 magnetic resonance (CMR) has been reported to identify myocardial damage inducing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, the usefulness of CMR may be affected by the medical institutions, patients' ages, and myocardial diseases.
aimTo clarify the clinical usefulness and limitation of CMR for identifying myocardial damage in the survivors of OHCA in midtown.
methodsNineteen patients underwent CMR to detect myocardial damage related to OHCA in the midtown of a capital city. Cine, T1 and T2 mapping, T2-weighted, and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging were acquired using a 1.5 T scanner. We described the clinical characteristics of the survivors of OHCA and evaluated usefulness of CMR for identifying myocardial damage related to OHCA.
resultsAmong 19 patients experiencing OHCA, 7 experienced it in trains or on railway platforms, 4 while practicing sports, and 4 during their daily work. Ten of the 19 survivors were diagnosed with coronary vasospasm (CVS), in whom CMR failed to depict its characteristic findings. CMR was useful for identifying myocardial damage associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) or myocardial infarction (MI). LGE was related to serious ventricular arrhythmias after implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) installation in 3 patients (CVS, 2; HCM, 1).
conclusionCMR is useful for identifying myocardial damage of HCM or MI inducing OHCA and predicting ventricular arrhythmias after ICD implantation but has limited capability for detecting myocardial damage of CVS.
