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

objectiveLeft ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD) is an important factor in the prognosis of patients with myocardial infarction (MI). The aim of this study is to identify the influencing factors of LVMD in MI patients by radionuclide myocardial imaging. SUBJECTS AND

methodsThis study consisted of 91 patients who had a history of definite prior MI and underwent both technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile (

resultsLeft ventricular MD was present in 37/91 (40.7%) MI patients. Hibernating myocardium (SPET/PET mismatch) and scar in patients with LVMD were significantly higher than those without LVMD (15.24±11.26% vs 4.89±5.41%, P<0.001; 11.11±9.42% vs 4.72±5.71%, P<0.001; respectively). PBW correlated with hibernating myocardium and scar (r=0.542, 0.469, P<0.001; respectively). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hibernating myocardium was an independent factor of LVMD in MI patients (OR=1.110, P=0.009), and >6.5% hibernating myocardium as a threshold can be used to better discriminate LVMD. In addition, the improvement of PBW (ΔPBW) after CABG at a median follow-up time of 6 months was related with the amount of hibernating myocardium.

conclusionMyocardial infarction patients with LVMD show significantly more segments of larger amounts of hibernating myocardium and scars as compared to those without LVMD. Hibernating myocardium is independently associated with LVMD in MI patients.
