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

Aim: To evaluate the performance of T1ρ mapping for myocardial fibrosis detection across distinct cardiomyopathy entities of ischemic and non-ischemic origin against native T1 mapping. Methods and results: A total of 14 healthy controls and 39 patients [15 with ischemic cardiomyopathy [ICM], 12 with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [HCM], and 12 with dilated cardiomyopathy [DCM]] underwent cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), including T1ρ mapping, native T1 mapping, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), and extracellular volume (ECV) mapping. Segments were visually classified as segments with or without LGE. T1ρ values were significantly higher in patients with ICM, HCM, and DCM than controls (all Conclusion: This exploratory study demonstrates the potential of T1ρ mapping as a non-contrast CMR technique for detecting myocardial fibrosis in ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies. T1ρ showed favorable diagnostic performance compared with native T1 in ICM and HCM with comparable performance in DCM. These findings warrant validation in larger cohorts with diverse cardiac conditions to establish the clinical utility of T1ρ imaging.
