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

backgroundPresence of delayed enhancement (DE) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is associated with worse clinical outcomes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We investigated the relationship between DE on CMR and myocardial ischemia in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. METHODS AND

resultsHypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients (n=47) underwent CMR for assessment of DE and vasodilator stress ammonia positron emission tomography to quantify myocardial blood flow and coronary flow reserve. The summed difference score for regional myocardial perfusion was also assessed. Patients in the DE group (n=35) had greater left ventricular wall thickness (2.09±0.44 versus 1.78±0.34 cm; P=0.03). Stress myocardial blood flow (2.25±0.46 versus 1.78±0.43 mL/min per gram; P=0.01) and coronary flow reserve (2.78±0.32 versus 2.01±0.52; P<0.001) were significantly lower in DE-positive patients. Summed difference score (7.3±6.6 versus 0.9±1.4; P<0.0001) was significantly higher in patients with DE. A coronary flow reserve <2.00 was seen in 18 patients (51%) with DE but in none of the DE-negative patients (P<0.0001). CMR and positron emission tomography showed visually concordant DE and regional myocardial perfusion abnormalities in 31 patients and absence of DE and perfusion defects in 9 patients. Four DE-positive patients demonstrated normal regional myocardial perfusion, and 3 DE-negative patients had (apical) regional myocardial perfusion abnormalities.

conclusionsWe found a close relationship between DE by CMR and microvascular function in most of the patients studied. However, a small proportion of patients had DE in the absence of perfusion abnormalities, suggesting that microvascular dysfunction and ischemia are not the sole causes of DE in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients.
