Left ventricular end-systolic contractile entropy can predict cardiac prognosis in patients with complete left bundle branch block.
Article in Journal of nuclear cardiology : official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundSeveral patients with complete left bundle branch block (CLBBB) show left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony and poor cardiac prognosis. However, the prognostic value of LV end-systolic contractile entropy which was measured by single-photon emission computer tomography (SPECT) has not been elucidated in patients with CLBBB. METHODS AND
resultsWe recruited consecutive 115 sinus-rhythm patients with CLBBB who underwent ECG-gated
conclusionsLeft ventricular end-systolic contractile entropy predicts poor cardiac prognosis in patients with CLBBB, which may be more valuable than the other parameters of SPECT.
