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

backgroundThe diastolic wall strain (DWS) of the left ventricle has been proposed as an indicator of left ventricular (LV) wall stiffness. The DWS is calculated as follows using M-mode echocardiography:[Formula: see text]Although this index is simple and clinically useful, normal values for children, including neonates, have not been reported.

methodsThe DWS was measured in 235 healthy people, ranging from neonates to adults. They were classified into 8 subgroups according to their age. The DWS was compared with conventional echocardiographic parameters for left ventricle function, including shortening fraction of the left ventricle, the Tei index, E/A of mitral flow, mitral annular tissue Doppler velocity during systole (s') and during early diastole (e'), and the E/e' ratio.

resultsThe DWS in the just after birth group was 0.28 ± 0.11, which was significantly lower than that of the remaining groups (p < 0.05), except for the neonate group at 5-10 days after birth. The DWS was highest in the 1-9 years of age group, and then gradually decreased with age. Stepwise regression of various echocardiographic parameters showed that e' was the most relevant parameter for the DWS (β = 0.64).

conclusionsNormal values for the DWS of the left ventricle change with age. The data reported in this study can be used as normal values for the DWS of the left ventricle determined by M-mode echocardiography.
