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

backgroundNo study has compared the clinical impact of indexation of left ventricular mass (LVM) on adverse clinical outcomes in pre-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

methodsWe reviewed 2,101 patients from a large-scale multi-center prospective study that gathered anthropometric and echocardiographic measurements and clinical outcomes. The LVM was indexed as body surface area (LVMI-BSA) and height raised to the power of 2.7 (LVMI-H2.7). The main outcomes were composite renal and cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was defined as the highest sex-specific quartile of LVMI-BSA or LVMI-H2.7.

resultsDuring a mean period of 3.5 years, 692 patients developed composite outcomes (32.9%). The area under the curve at 5 year of LVM (60.6%) for composite outcome was smaller than that for LVMI-BSA (63.2%, P <0.001) and LVMI-H2.7 (63.4%, P <0.001). The hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) per one unit increase in LVM (g), LVMI-BSA (g/m2), and LVMI-H2.7 (g/m2.7) for composite outcomes were 1.004 (1.002-1.005, P <0.001), 1.011 (1.006-1.016, P <0.001), and 1.023 (1.012-1.035, P <0.001), respectively. Patients with LVH determined by LVMI-BSA and LVMI-H2.7 (HR 1.352, 95% CI 1.123-1.626, P = 0.001) and LVH determined by only LVMI-BSA (HR 1.908, 95% CI 1.233-2.953, P = 0.004) showed an independent increase in the risk of composite-outcome development, when compared with patients without LVH, according to LVMI-BSA and LVMI-H2.7.

conclusionIndexation of LVM improved the prediction of adverse outcomes. BSA may be as useful as height2.7 in indexing of LVM for predicting adverse outcomes in pre-dialysis patients with CKD.
