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

backgroundThe prolongation of repolarization time between the myocardial epicardium and endocardial cells is closely related to malignant ventricular arrhythmias. The purpose of our study was to compare repolarization markers, namely, T-wave peak-end interval (Tp-e), QT, corrected QT (QTc), Tp-e/QT, Tp-e/corrected QT (QTc), and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) values in healthy men and women and to investigate their daily variations.

methodsA total of 74 male and 78 female participants, being a government employee, and having no health problems, were included in the two study groups (males and females). A 24-hour, 12-lead Holter monitoring was performed on the volunteers. Then, the Tp-e interval and QT interval were measured on recordings. cTp-e and QTc were calculated by the use of Bazzet's formula.

resultsThere was no statistically significant difference between the groups in the cTp-e interval at 07.00 pm; however, it was significantly lower in the female group as compared with the male group at 07.00 am and 01.00 pm. It was significantly higher in the female group at 01.00 am compared with the male group. There were statistically significant moderate negative correlations between Tp-e intervals and a standard deviation of between two normal beats interval (SDNN) values at various hours of the same day.

conclusionThere were statistically significant differences in terms of Tp-e and cTp-e intervals at various hours of the same day in both groups. In addition, there were statistically significant moderate negative correlations between Tp-e intervals and SDNN at various hours of the same day.
