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

backgroundChronic ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) is associated with poor outcome. However, the effect of chronic ischemic MR on left ventricular (LV) remodeling after posterolateral myocardial infarction (MI) remains controversial. We tested the hypothesis that moderate MR accelerates LV remodeling after posterolateral MI.

methodsPosterolateral MI was created in 10 sheep. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed 2 weeks before and 2, 8, and 16 weeks after MI. Left ventricular and right ventricular volumes were measured, and regurgitant volume was calculated as the difference between LV and right ventricle stroke volumes.

resultsMultivariate mixed effects regression showed that LV volumes at end diastole and end systole and LV sphericity were strongly correlated with both regurgitant volume (p < 0.0001, p = 0.0086, and p = 0.0007, respectively) and percent infarct area (p = 0.0156, p = 0.0307, and p < 0.0001, respectively). Conversely, whereas LV hypertrophy (LV wall volume) increased from 2 weeks to 16 weeks after MI, there was no effect of either regurgitant volume or percent infarct.

conclusionsModerate MR accelerates LV remodeling after posterolateral MI. Further studies are needed to determine whether mitral valve repair is able to slow or reverse MI remodeling after posterolateral MI.
