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 kidney disease (CKD) is associated with left-ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) which progresses to diastolic heart failure. However, biomarkers predicting LVDD in patients with CKD are largely unknown.

methodsIn 93 patients with non-diabetic CKD, the relationships among echocardiography, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), and renal function were evaluated. LV mass index, peak early diastolic mitral filling velocity (E), peak early diastolic mitral annular velocity (E'), and E/E' were recorded.

resultsThe E' values were significantly decreased and E/E', BNP, and hs-cTnT increased with increasing CKD stage. The CKD patients with LVDD with E' <5 cm/s had a significantly higher hs-cTnT level as well as a significantly higher BNP level compared to those with E' ≥5 cm/s. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve for hs-cTnT and BNP to detect E' <5 cm/s was 0.880 (p = 0.0101) and 0.741 (p = 0.0570), respectively. In multivariate analysis, hs-cTnT and albuminuria were significantly associated with E', and estimated glomerular filtration rate with the hs-cTnT level, after adjusting for age, cause of CKD, and other parameters.

conclusionsThese data suggest that hs-cTnT may be a useful biomarker of LVDD in non- diabetic CKD patients.
