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

backgroundThe electrocardiographic criteria currently available for the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) are low in sensitivity. Thus, we compared the diagnostic performance of newly proposed electrocardiographic criteria to the existing criteria in a Chinese population.

methodsA total of 235 consecutive hypertensive patients, hospitalized in our department between May 2017 and April 2018, were included. They were divided into two groups based on the gold standard echocardiogram: those with (n = 116) and without LVH (n = 119). The newly proposed ECG criteria were calculated by summating the amplitude of the deepest S wave (S

resultsECG analysis of the cohort showed that the newly proposed criteria had the highest sensitivity in diagnosing LVH (male: 65.5%; female: 81%), followed by the Cornell limb lead criteria (male: 55.2%; female: 56.9%). The specificities of both sets of criteria were higher than 70%, with no significant differences between them. Receiver operator curve analysis showed an optimal cutoff of ≥2.1 mV for females (AUC: 0.832; 95% CI: 0.757-0.906) and ≥2.6 mV for males (AUC: 0.772; 95% CI: 0.687-0.856).
