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.

Abstract

objectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate cardiac function in children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on regular hemodialysis using speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) and correlate results with plasma glutathione level as a marker of oxidative stress.

methodsThe study involved 30 children with ESRD and 30 healthy controls. The plasma glutathione and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were measured, and cardiac function was evaluated using conventional echocardiography and STE.

resultsPlasma glutathione levels were significantly lower and CRP significantly higher in patients than in controls. Children with ESRD had significant systolic and diastolic cardiac dysfunctions detected by STE compared with controls. Conventional echocardiography failed to detect these dysfunctions. There was significant increase in left-ventricular relative wall thickness (LV-RWT) in patients, especially those with hypertension, compared with the control group. There was also significant impairment of LV and right-ventricular (RV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) and torsion; however, LV-GLS was significantly better in hypertensive than in normotensive patients. The degree of impairment in GLS and cardiac torsion negatively correlated with plasma glutathione levels.

conclusionSignificant oxidative stress was present in children with ESRD and was correlated with the degree of cardiac dysfunction detected early using the new cardiac imaging modality, STE.
