Relation of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and left atrial volume index to left ventricular function in chronic hemodialysis patients.

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
Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of death in hemodialysis (HD) patients. We investigated the relation of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and left atrial volume index (LAVi) to left ventricular function in chronic HD patients. A total of 117 patients were enrolled as subjects (74 men and 43 women). Echocardiography was performed to evaluate the left atrial volume index (LAVi) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI). Diastolic left ventricular function was estimated as E/E' by tissue Doppler imaging with cardiac ultrasonography. Serum NT-proBNP was measured at the time of echocardiographic measurements. Multiple regression analysis showed that LAVi (F = 24.372, p < 0.0001) and E/E' (F = 23.473, p < 0.0116) were significant predictors for serum NT-proBNP levels, and LVMI (F = 46.807, p < 0.0001) was a best predictor for LAVi among associated factors. These findings suggest that serum NT-proBNP and LAVi are both good biomarkers for predicting the LV remodeling in chronic HD patients.
