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

purposeIschemic heart disease (IHD) may result in lethal conditions such as ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and mitral regurgitation (MR).

methodsWe hypothesized preoperative LV volume would be highly associated with long-term survival in such patients. We retrospectively evaluated effects of LV end-systolic volume index (LVESVI) on survival.

resultsPatients were divided into two groups according to LVESVI; Group S (n = 19, <100 ml/m(2)), and L (n = 55, >100 ml/m(2)). There were 74 patients (male 61, female 13; 61 ± 10 y.o.). There was no statistical significance in preoperative parameters, including ejection fraction (EF), severity of MR, severity of tricuspid regurgitation (TR), and right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP). After operation, LVESVI and severity of MR were statistically reduced in both groups. However, EF, severity of TR and RVSP were not statistically alleviated in both groups. In Group S, 5- and 10-year survival rates were 93% and 48%. In Group L, 5- and 10-year survival rates were 50% and 29%. There was a statistical difference in long-term survival between two groups.

conclusionsPreoperative LV volume would be one of the risk factors for long-term survival in patients with congestive heart failure secondary to IHD. Careful follow-up and optimal treatment should be recommended before LV dimension becomes too large.
