Cardiogoniometry can predict positive response to cardiac resynchronization therapy - A proof of concept study.
Article in Indian heart journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundAccording to American Heart Association guidelines, QRS duration and morphology are used to select patients for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). But still there are some patients who are not responding to this device. We investigated whether the Cardiogoniometry (CGM) as a three-dimensional vectorcardiogram method can improve patient selection.
methodsEchocardiography and CGM were performed for 25 consecutive patients with Left bundle branch morphology who were candidate for CRT implantation and were in sinus rhythm. Patients re-evaluated by echocardiography after 6 months post CRT implantation.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 63 ± 13 years and 17 (68%) were males. The mean LVEF was 19.4 ± 7.4% and 24.2 ± 11.5% before and after CRT implantation respectively. Median of the duration of the R loop before the R maximum demonstrated a negative correlation with the increase in LVEF, (r = -0.36, P = 0.07) and mean of maximal spatial velocity of the T-loop for all measured showed a positive correlation (r = 0.39, p = 0.04). Other parameters didn't show any significant differences.
conclusionsThree-dimensional vectorcardiogram parameters can be helpful to predict the CRT response. Shorter duration of the R loop before the maximum R and smaller R loop area are predictors for responder patients.
