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

Our aim was (1) to detect the presence of fibrosis by Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in the pediatric age group. (2) Correlate CMR findings with demographic data, LV function, and other echocardiographic parameters. We studied 40 pediatric patients diagnosed as HCM by echocardiography. All patients were subjected to clinical examination (in which the NYHA classification was determined for each patient), echocardiography, and CMR. CMR was done on a 1.5T Philips Achieva scanner in SSFP with delayed myocardial enhancement (DE-MRI). All demographic and functional parameters as well as pressure gradient across left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) were correlated with the percentage of myocardial enhancement. We studied 13 female and 27 male patients from 45 days up to 18 years. The mean percentage of DE-MRI was 9.7 ± 9%. We found significant correlation between the NYHA classification and the pressure gradient across the LVOT (P = < 0.001) as well as the percentage of DE-MRI (P = 0.004). The percentage of DE-MRI showed positive correlation with LV myocardial mass index (P = 0.042). It didn't correlate with any other demographic or LV functional cardiac parameters. A good positive correlation was detected between the percentage of DE-MRI and the severity of pressure gradient across LVOT measured by echocardiography (r = 0.69 and P = <0.001). We found a significant correlation between the percentage of DE-MRI in children with HCM and the pressure gradient across LVOT, NYHA classification, and LV myocardial mass. This may help in the further management of those patients, planning for follow-up, and prognosis of the disease.
