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

objectivesTo analyze our surgical experiences with surgical ventricular restoration (SVR) for dilated ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and to determine the significance of preoperative right ventricular (RV) function on outcomes. METHODS AND

resultsThis study retrospectively analyzed 19 patients who underwent SVR between April 2010 and May 2016. Their mean age and New York Heart Association functional class were 62 ± 11 years and 2.9 ± 0.8, respectively. The preoperative mean left ventricular (LV) end-systolic volume index and LV ejection fraction (LVEF) were 134 ± 56 mL/m

conclusionSVR for ICM provided acceptable freedom from cardiac-related death; however, MACEs commonly occurred and was associated with RV dysfunction.
