Left ventricular hypertrophy detection from simple clinical measures combined with electrocardiographic criteria in a group of African ancestry.
Article in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundWhether routine clinical parameters associated with left ventricular mass (LVM) enhance the performance of electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for LV hypertrophy (LVH) detection and hence modify overall cardiovascular risk stratification is unknown.
methodsAn approach to echocardiographic LVH detection was identified from ECG criteria and clinical variables [age, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and estimated glomerular filtration rate] associated with LVM in 621 participants of African ancestry. Performance (area under the receiver operating curve) and classification accuracy for LVH detection and the impact on cardiovascular risk stratification were determined.
resultsCompared to Cornell criteria alone, the combined use of Cornell criteria and clinical variables increased the performance (p < 0.001) and sensitivity (p < 0.05 to p < 0.0001) for LVH detection. The use of Cornell product together with additional clinical parameters as compared to Cornell product criteria alone increased the proportion of participants with pre-, grade I or grade II hypertension risk stratified as having a high added cardiovascular risk (56.3-67.9 %, p < 0.05).
conclusionsIn individuals of African ancestry, a combination of Cornell product criteria and age, BMI and SBP improves classification accuracy of Cornell criteria for LVH and increases those identified as having a high added as compared to lower cardiovascular risk scores.
