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

Although progress has been made to understand the factors for non-responsiveness, fine tuning and comprehensive strategies are needed to make echocardiography the GPS system in cardiac resynchronization. Taking the wrong turn in the labyrinth of dyssynchrony is expensive and time consuming without improving well being of the heart failure patient. Possibly other imaging techniques could help in fine tuning cardiac resynchronization.
