Electrocardiographic criteria which have the best prognostic significance in hypertensive patients with echocardiographic hypertrophy of left ventricle: 15-year prospective study.
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundElectrocardiography is the first-choice technique for detecting left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with arterial hypertension. It is necessary to know the probable outcome for every patient during the treatment, with the aim of improving cardiovascular event prevention. HYPOTHESIS: Certain electrocardiographic criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy may predict outcomes of patients with left ventricular hypertrophy during a 15-year follow-up.
methodsFifteen-year prospective study of 83 consecutive patients (53 male and 30 female; mean age 55.3 ± 8.1) with echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (left ventricular mass index 170.3 ± 31.6 g/m
resultsOne or more composite events were registered in 32 (38.5%) patients during 15-year follow-up. Positive Lyon-Sokolow score (17.6% vs. 47.3%; P < 0.05), Lewis voltage (9.8% vs. 21.9%; P < 0.05), Cornell voltage (15.7% vs. 37.5%; P < 0.05), and Cornell product (9.8% vs. 34.4%; P < 0.01) were more frequent in a group of patients with composite events. Odd ratio for Cornell product was 4.819 (95% CI 1.486-15.627).
conclusionPatients with echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy who had positive Lewis voltage, Lyon-Sokolow voltage, Cornell voltage, and Cornell product showed worse 15-year outcome. The strongest predictor of cardiovascular events was positive result of Cornell product.
