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

objectivesIn our study, we aimed to identify early markers of cardiac dysfunction in patients treated with mitoxantrone. We also looked at cardiac functional changes during therapy by analyzing longitudinal deformation and by measuring left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) global strain. MATERIALS AND

methodsLA and LV global longitudinal strain were analyzed in 20 patients affected by multiple sclerosis and treated with mitoxantrone. Patients underwent echocardiography before treatment, after every drug administration during the 12-months treatment period, and finally after 6 and 12 months of drug discontinuation.

resultsCompared with baseline values, patients showed a significant reduction of both LA and LV longitudinal global strain at the end of treatment with mitoxantrone (LA_GS% T10 vs. T0 values: 15,2 ± 12,5 vs. 20,2 ± 11,1; LV_GS%: ─16,4 ± 2,5 vs. ─17,4 ± 3,8). Strain reduction reverted after treatment discontinuation (LA_GS% FU vs. T0 values: 20,4 ± 15,7 vs. 20,2 ± 11,1; LV_GS%: ─17,3 ± 3,3 vs. ─17,4 ± 3,8).

conclusionsImpairment of longitudinal deformation during mitoxantrone therapy may indicate a dysfunction related to early myocardial damage. These findings appear to be reversible after treatment discontinuation.
