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

Positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging is being increasingly used for the detection of coronary artery disease. In the presence of significant left ventricle dysfunction, the assessment of myocardial ischemia and viability by PET plays a role in the identification of patients who may benefit from revascularization. In addition to these, new PET tracers may play a role in the assessment of underlying pathophysiology and therapeutic options in heart failure. Studies have shown the ability of sympathetic innervation imaging to assess the risk of cardiac death, arrhythmia, and disease progression. New tracers have been tested for the assessment of angiogenesis and other mechanisms involved in myocardial repair after infarction. Furthermore, new tracers may play a role in detection of inflammatory cardiomyopathies, especially cardiac sarcoidosis, which is a diagnostic challenge for current methods. In addition to the assessment of prognosis and etiology, the value of new PET tracers will depend on their ability to guide selection of therapies and incorporation into clinical management algorithms in heart failure. This review describes recent advances in applications of cardiac PET in heart failure with emphasis on potential roles of new tracers.
