Do Combined Electrocardiographic and Echocardiographic Markers of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Improve Cardiovascular Risk Estimation?
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The authors estimated the risk of cardiovascular mortality associated with echocardiographic (ECHO) left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and subtypes of this phenotype in patients with and without electrocardiographic (ECG) LVH. A total of 1691 representatives of the general population were included in the analysis. During a follow-up of 211 months, 89 cardiovascular deaths were recorded. Compared with individuals with neither ECHO LVH nor ECG LVH, fully adjusted risk of cardiovascular mortality increased (hazard ratio [HR], 3.36; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.51-7.47; P=.003) in patients with both ECHO-LVH and ECG-LVH, whereas the risk entailed by ECHO-LVH alone was of borderline statistical significance (P=.04). Combined concentric nondilated LVH and ECG-LVH, but not concentric nondilated LVH alone, predicted cardiovascular death (HR, 3.79; 95% CI, 1.25-11.38; P=.01). Similar findings were observed for eccentric nondilated LVH (HR, 3.37; 95% CI, 1.05-10.78; P=.04.). The present analysis underlines the value of combining ECG and ECHO in the assessment of cardiovascular prognosis related to abnormal left ventricular geometric patterns.
