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

objectiveTo the authors' knowledge, limited data are available regarding the association between Electrocardiogram (ECG) signs of right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We aimed to assess the accuracy of the recommended ECG criteria of RVH for predicting PH in patients with DCM.

methodsAccording to the definition of PH (mPAP ≥ 25 mm Hg), 35 patients with DCM were divided into 2 groups: DCM with PH (n = 22) and DCM without PH (n = 13). Right heart catheterization was performed in all patients. Seventeen parameters of RVH recommended by the AHA/ACCF/HRS for diagnosis of RVH on ECG were determinded.

resultsThe following parameters were correlated with mPAP: R

conclusionSeveral ECG signs of RVH may be useful for in the diagnosis PH in patients with DCM.
