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

Background The current study aims to validate the accuracy of 3-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3D-STE) in evaluating biventricular functions against the accuracy of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and to explore the comprehensive characteristics and normal values for 3D-biventricular functions in transplanted hearts. Methods and Results A cohort of 35 heart transplant (HT) patients underwent both 3D echocardiography and CMR examination to validate the accuracy of 3D-STE in evaluating biventricular functions (Protocol 1). Then, 3D-STE derived biventricular functions were compared between 46 HT patients and 46 non-HT controls (Protocol 2). Protocol 1, validated that 3D-STE showed excellent accuracy in evaluating biventricular functions of transplanted hearts against CMR. Protocol 2, revealed lower (normal range) 3D-biventricular ejection fractions in HT patients than in controls (
