Histopathological and Morphometric Study of Fibrosis and Nuclear Pleomorphism in Dilated Cardiomyopathy.
Article in Current health sciences journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Histopathological changes associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (CMD) are frequently nonspecific and often only present in the terminal stage of the disease. The study followed the histopathological and morphometric quantification of fibrosis and nuclear pleomorphism in CMD. We analyzed left ventricle myocardial fragments harvested during autopsy, from 35 cases with clinical diagnosis of CMD and 5 cases of normal myocardium. Fibrosis was present in all CMD cases, with higher values compared with control cases. Nuclear pleomorphism was identified in 18 cases (45%), two of the analyzed parameters, respectively the ratio of nuclear diameters and roundness of nucleus, revealing significant differences in CMD compared to the control cases. Myocardial fibrosis present in all cases of CMD represents a major feature of the disease. The nuclear pleomorphism due to the nuclei change in diameters and size was more pronounced in the vicinity of fibrosis areas, possibly related to this alteration.
