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

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare disorder in which left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and symptoms of heart failure (HF) occur in the peripartum period. The time to potential recovery from severe remodeling of ventricular function is difficult to predict. Although lack of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is reportedly associated with functional recovery of the LV in some cardiomyopathies, the impact of LGE in PPCM remains unclear. We herein report a case of a patient with PPCM who demonstrated rapidly worsened ventricular function, leading to requirement of a paracorporeal left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation despite absence of LGE in CMR. A 34-year-old Japanese patient, G2P2A0, expecting her third delivery following a full-term pregnancy, experienced heart failure. Severe LV dysfunction and PPCM were diagnosed. CMR showed no LGE. Although standard HF therapy and bromocriptine were given, her cardiac function failed to recover, and she eventually underwent paracorporeal LVAD implantation as a bridge to heart transplantation due to the impossibility of stopping the administration of inotropic agents. <
