1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Magnetocardiography has received regulatory recognition as a contactless, sensitive aid for physicians to diagnose or exclude myocardial ischemia in chest pain patients, with or without coronary obstruction. Such success, however, might not equate to guideline endorsement or proven clinical effectiveness. Moreover, despite its intrinsic advantages, including unrivalled contactless functional imaging of cardiac electrophysiology and a strong potential for multimodal integration with other imaging methods, its clinical adoption remains limited by the lack of internationally recognized standards and guidelines. This Perspective Review article, highlighting the viewpoints of clinical end users, is a call for urgent action to establish an interdisciplinary expert commission. This is essential for defining consensus-based standards and recommendations for the clinical use of MCG.
