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

purposeAs cardiomyopathy is more prevalent and currently the leading cause of death in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), early detection of myocardial involvement is important. The purpose of this study was to analyze myocardial strain in DMD children, for the possibility of early detection of myocardial dysfunction. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe reviewed medical records of DMD patients who were >10 years of age (15.6±1.6 years, 12.5-18 years), from March 2013 to June 2014. Data of 24 DMD children who underwent echocardiography with three-layer specific myocardial strain were compared with 24 controls (age: 9.3±4.0 years, 5.5-17 years).

resultsEpicardial longitudinal strain was lower in DMD (DMD: -9.3±3.8%; control: -12.3±4.3%; p=0.012). Radial strain (DMD: 24.1±11.1%; control: 37.3±25.9%; p=0.027) and strain rate (SR) (DMD: 1.68±0.91; control: 2.42±0.84; p=0.006) on parasternal short axis view were lower in DMD. Circumferential strains in the endocardium (DMD: -17.5±4.7%; control: -24.2±5.3%; p<0.001), myocardium (DMD: -12.7±3.8%; control: -18.0±4.0%; p<0.001), and epicardium (DMD: -8.4±4.0%; control: -12.2±5.0%; p=0.006) were significantly decreased in DMD. Circumferential SRs were lower in the endocardial (DMD: -1.46±0.38; control: -1.78±0.27; p=0.002) and myocardial layers (DMD: 1.02±0.27; control: -1.28±0.22; p=0.001).

conclusionIn DMD patients, deteriorations in myocardial circumferential strain might be an indicator for predicting cardiomyopathy.
