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

backgroundLeft ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) has been suggested as a determinant of outcome in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, available data are inconclusive and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of LVH on myocardial injury and clinical outcome in a large multicenter STEMI population.

methodsCardiovascular magnetic resonance was performed in 795 patients within 10 days after STEMI to assess left ventricular (LV) mass and parameters of myocardial injury. Gender-specific cutoff values of indexed LV mass were used to define LVH (67 g/m

resultsLVH was present in 438 patients (55%) and associated with a significantly larger infarct size [18.3% of LV mass (%LV) versus 14.0%LV; p < 0.01], a lower myocardial salvage index (47.8 versus 54.4; p < 0.01), larger extent of microvascular obstruction (0.4 versus 0%LV; p < 0.01) and lower LV ejection fraction (47.9 versus 53.2%; p < 0.01) compared to STEMI patients without LVH. The effect of LVH on LV ejection fraction, infarct size and myocardial salvage index remained statistically significant after adjustment for baseline characteristics (p < 0.01 for all). MACE rates at 12 months were numerically higher in patients with versus without LVH without reaching statistical significance (7.5 versus 5.6%; p = 0.32).

conclusionIn STEMI patients, LVH is associated with more pronounced structural and functional alterations in CMR imaging as an indicator for adverse clinical outcomes in STEMI survivors.
