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

Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of various cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters in assessing myocardial viability with positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) as the gold standard. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective analytical study comprising 28 adult patients with perfusion/metabolism matched or mismatched defects in PET-CT. These patients were taken up for MR evaluation, mainly assessing end-diastolic wall thickness (EDWT), regional wall motion abnormalities, and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) for infarcted tissue. EDWT was measured manually and using semiautomatic software, and means were calculated. Results: Of 448 (28 × 16) myocardial segments, 6% ( Conclusion: MRI parameter shows increased specificity and positive predictive value in identifying non-viable myocardium compared with PET/CT. All parameters had good sensitivity in identifying hibernating myocardium but had significantly low specificities.
