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

backgroundAn interaction between coronary anatomy, myocardial perfusion, and left ventricular (LV) functional parameters in the development of mechanical LV dyssynchrony (LVD) has been suggested. This study examined the correlates of LVD in a large sample size of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) using cadmium-zinc-telluride camera.

methodsSix-hundred and fifty-seven consecutive patients who underwent myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and coronary angiography were included. Coronary stenosis >70% was considered significant. LV perfusion and functional parameters were computed from MPI images. The presence of significant LVD was evaluated by phase standard deviation and histogram bandwidth.

results415/657 (63%) patients had significant CAD. LVD was present in 247 (38%) patients and was associated with the presence of a higher CAD burden (P < .001), more impaired measures of LV perfusion (P < .001), contractile function (P < .001), and larger LV volumes (P < .001). By multivariate analysis, the LV end-systolic volume index (P < .001) and ischemic burden (P < .001) were the strongest predictors of LVD independent of CAD extent and LV systolic dysfunction.

conclusionsLVD is frequent in patients undergoing MPI for suspected or known CAD. Its presence is independent of CAD burden and LV systolic dysfunction, but is dependent on the presence of myocardial perfusion abnormalities and LV end-systolic volume.
