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

Cushing's syndrome (CS) is associated with cardiovascular disease. The impact of the hemodynamic load on left ventricular mass (LVM) in patients with CS is not well known. In fact, the effects of 24-h blood pressure (BP) load and BP circadian rhythm on cardiac structure and function have not been studied. Aim of the present study has thus been to assess the presence of cardiac remodeling in patients with newly diagnosed CS, combining evaluation of cardiac remodeling and assessment of BP burden derived by 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). 25 patients (4 M, 21 F) with CS underwent echocardiography in order to assess cardiac morphology and geometry (relative wall thickness-RWT). As controls, 25 subjects similar for demographic characteristics and 24-h BP were used. CS Patients were similar to controls by age, sex, mean 24-h BP, and body mass index. There was a significant increase in left ventricular mass (LVM; 44.4 ± 14.7 vs. 36.9 ± 10 g/m
