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

backgroundConventional Doppler indices of left ventricular diastolic function do not correlate with symptoms or exercise capacity in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, because of their dependence on loading conditions. Diastolic mitral annular velocity measured using Doppler tissue imaging has been reported to be a preload independent index of left ventricular diastolic function.

objectiveTo determine the relation between diastolic annular velocities combined with conventional Doppler indices and symptoms or exercise capacity in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

methods85 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and 60 normal controls were studied. Diastolic mitral annular velocities, transmitral left ventricular filling, and pulmonary venous velocities were measured.

resultsEarly diastolic velocities at lateral and septal annulus were lower in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy than in controls (lateral Ea: 10 (3) v 18 (4) cm/s, p < 0.0001; septal Ea: 7 (2) v 12 (3) cm/s, p < 0.0001). Unlike conventional Doppler indices alone, transmitral early left ventricular filling velocity (E) to lateral Ea ratio correlated inversely with peak oxygen consumption (r = -0.42, p < 0.0001). Patients in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III had a higher transmitral E to lateral Ea ratio (12.0 (4.6)) than those in NYHA class II (7.6 (3.1), p < 0.005) or class I (6.6 (2.6), p < 0.0001).

conclusionsEarly diastolic mitral annular velocities are reduced in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Unlike conventional Doppler indices alone, the transmitral E to lateral Ea ratio correlates with NYHA functional class and exercise capacity.
