Changes in Left Ventricular Mass and Geometry in the Older Adults: Role of Body Mass and Central Obesity.
Article in Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography : official publication of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundLeft ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular outcomes. There are limited data about modifiable factors associated with progression of LV hypertrophy in older adults. Our objective is to describe the changes in LV mass and geometry over time in a predominantly older multiethnic cohort and to identify possible predictors of changes over time.
methodsWe analyzed data from participants in the Northern Manhattan Study who underwent serial echocardiographic studies, comparing the baseline and the most recent echocardiograms. We recorded changes in LV mass and geometry and correlated them with baseline characteristics using linear regression models.
resultsThere were 826 participants (mean age, 64.2 ± 8.0 years) included in the analysis (time between measurements, 8.5 ± 2.7 years). Overall, LV mass index increased from 45.0 ± 12.7 to 50.3 ± 14.6 g/m
conclusionsRegardless of race/ethnicity, LV mass progressed over time in older adults. We also observed that worsening geometry was frequent. Assessment of central obesity in the older population is important because indicators of central obesity add prognostic value over body mass index for the risk of LV mass increase.
