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) is one of the preclinical manifestations of hypertensive target organ damage (TOD). However, it remains unclear which electrocardiographic criterion perform better in diagnosing LVH. PURPOSE: To investigate the consistency of LVH diagnosed by electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography (ECHO). Taking LVH by ECHO as reference, to compare three different ECG criteria (Sokolow-Lyon, Cornell and Cornell Product criteria) and find the best ECG indicator for identifying LVH in community-based elderly Chinese. PATIENTS AND

methodsEchocardiography and electrocardiography were applied to define LVH in 1789 elderly Chinese aged >65 years old in communities located at the northern Shanghai. Echocardiographic LVH (ECHO-LVH) was defined by left ventricular mass indexed for Body Surface Area (LVM/BSA) or for height

resultsAs compared with SL and Cornell criteria, CP had the greatest correlation coefficient in the association with echocardiography-defined LVH, except for LVM/BSA in men. Of note, CP criterion had the greatest area under curve of ROC than Cornell criterion and the SL index, not only in total population but also in subgroups classified by blood pressure.

conclusionIn ECG-LVH criteria, CP criterion complies better than SL index and Cornell criterion in assessing cardiac hypertrophy.
