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

objectiveSympathetic activity increases in patients with mitral stenosis (MS). The association between prolonged Tpeak-Tend (Tp-e) interval and increased sympathetic activity has been demonstrated. This study aimed to evaluate Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT ratio, and Tp-e/corrected QT interval (QTc) ratio in patients with MS before and after balloon valvuloplasty.

methodsThirty patients with severe MS and 30 sex-, body mass index-, and and age-matched healthy control subjects were enrolled. The severity of MS was defined following clinical, transthoracic, and transesophageal echocardiographic examinations. All patients underwent successful mitral balloon valvuloplasty. Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT, and Tp-e/QTc ratios were measured using 12-lead electrocardiogram. First, the abovementioned parameters were compared between patients with MS and healthy control subjects. Second, these parameters were compared before and after balloon valvuloplasty in patients with MS.

resultsThe mean Tp-e interval was significantly prolonged in patients with MS compared with healthy control subjects (85.02±9.12 ms vs. 75.38±6.04 ms; p<0.001). In addition, Tp-e/QT ratio and Tp-e/QTc ratio were significantly higher in patients with MS than in healthy control subjects (0.217±0.025 vs. 0.196±0.02 and 0.203±0.02 vs. 0.184±0.019; p<0.001).The mean valve area significantly increased after balloon valvuloplasty compared with that before balloon valvuloplasty (1.83±0.32 cm2 vs. 1.18±0.15 cm2; p<0.001). Compared with those before balloon valvuloplasty, Tp-e interval (85.02±9.12 ms vs. 78.06±9.2 ms; p<0.001), Tp-e/QT ratio (0.217±0.02 vs. 0.201±0.02; p<0.001), and Tp-e/QTc ratio (0.203±0.02 vs. 0.184±0.02; p<0.001) decreased after balloon valvuloplasty.

conclusionWe revealed that Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT ratio, and Tp-e/QTc ratio increased in patients with severe MS. Furthermore, balloon valvuloplasty had a favorable effect on parameters associated with myocardial repolarization.
