Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients referred for premature ventricular contractions: identifying patients most likely to benefit.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2026. 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
Background: The value of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in cases of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) has not been clearly defined. Objectives: To assess the ability of CMR to detect structural abnormalities in patients referred for PVCs and to determine predictive factors. Methods: 200 consecutive patients were retrospectively included after a workup that included an electrocardiogram, echocardiography, and an exercise test. We determined whether or not CMR could reveal previously undetected structural abnormalities. Results: CMR revealed structural abnormalities in 92 patients (46% of cases): nonischemic fibrosis ( Conclusions: CMR is essential in the investigation of PVCs; it enabled the detection of structural abnormalities not found during the initial workup in 46% of the cases. Predictive factors included male sex, age, diabetes, smoking, known cardiomyopathy, and pleomorphic PVCs. In contrast, young and nondiabetic patients with normal echocardiography and monomorphic PVCs that decrease in frequency with effort had normal CMR findings; raising the hypothesis that the usefulness of CMR in this specific population should be discussed.
