Evaluation of heart function with impedance cardiography in acute myocardial infarction patients.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
unlabelledTo evaluate the capability of impedance cardiography (ICG) in reflecting the cardiac functions of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients.
methods99 inpatients with initial AMI were recruited. Venous blood was obtained for detection of N-terminal brain-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), B-Type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and c troponin-T (cTnT) followed by ICG. Thorax fluid capacity (TFC), pre-ejection period (PEP), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV), stroke index (SI), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), cardiac index (CI), end-diastolic volume (EDV) and systolic time ratio (STR) were measured. All these patients underwent ICG and echocardiography 2 days after surgery.
resultsOur results indicated NT-proBNP and BNP were associated with SVR, SVRI, PEP and STR, independently (P < 0.05). cTnT was associated with SVR and SVRI (P < 0.05). And the outcomes showed correlation between ICG and echocardiography in SV, SI, EDV, LEVT, STR, LVEF (P < 0.01), CO and CI (P < 0.05). However, no correlation was noted in PEP. In addition, changes were also found in the blood pressure and heart rate 7 days after PCI.
conclusionMay be ICG data could reflect the early cardiac functions of AMI patients, but the accuracy of ICG in evaluating cardiac functions should be combined with detection of blood NT-proBNP, BNP and cTnT and echocardiography.
