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

A 74-year-old man had abnormal left ventricular (LV) function according to a perioperative test at a local hospital and was transferred to our institution for further evaluation and treatment. His electrocardiogram demonstrated the presence of premature ventricular contraction with a QRS complex of the right bundle branch block type and superior axis. His echocardiography showed systolic dysfunction of the LV (LV ejection fraction, 44.6%). Cardiac computed tomography imaging revealed banded and patchy densities observed frequently from the middle to epicardial layer of the LV wall. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed fat signals on fat-selective images and late gadolinium enhancement in the mid-wall to subepicardial layers in the LV myocardium. Endomyocardial biopsy revealed the histological presence of fibrofatty replacement. A genetic analysis revealed a nonsense mutation in the desmoplakin gene. Thus, he was diagnosed with left-dominant arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. To prevent fatal ventricular arrhythmias, an implantable cardioverter defibrillator was successfully implanted.
