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

The electrocardiogram is an inexpensive adjunct for assessing target organ damage in hypertensive patients. The gender-specific Cornell voltage criteria (men: R(aVL) + S(V3) >35 mm; women: R(aVL) + S(V3) >25 mm) have better overall accuracy than the often-used Sokolow-Lyon or Romhilt-Estes criteria. One of the earliest electrocardiographic findings of hypertensive heart disease is a duration of the negative phase of the P wave in chest lead V1 of >0.04 seconds, a manifestation of left atrial enlargement or abnormality. There is no other cardiovascular risk factor more potent than left ventricular hypertrophy with a "strain pattern." Despite limitations in determining hypertensive heart disease, the electrocardiogram provides other information that is useful in the management of patients with hypertension.
