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
Introduction: Myocardial scar is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO). Electrocardiography (ECG) is a simple and widely available tool that provides valuable information on myocardial ischaemia and scar. Aim: We aimed to evaluate the value of the ECG-derived total Q/R ratio for identifying myocardial scar in patients with CTO and ischaemia on myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS). Material and methods: In this retrospective study, 283 consecutive patients with myocardial ischaemia on MPS and CTO on coronary angiography were included. Baseline clinical, imaging, and electrocardiographic data were analysed, and multivariate logistic regression and ROC analyses were performed. Myocardial scar was defined as severe fixed perfusion defects on MPS. Results: The total Q/R ratio and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were independently associated with myocardial scar in multivariate analysis (OR = 2.53, 95% CI: 1.13-5.63, Conclusions: The total Q/R ratio is independently associated with myocardial scar and may provide clinically relevant information for identifying myocardial scar in patients with CTO and ischaemia on MPS.
