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

Heart failure (HF) is recognized as a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common phenotype in patients presenting with HF. Timely diagnosis, appropriate identification of the underlying cause, individualized risk stratification, and prediction of clinical response to treatment have improved the prognosis of DCM over the last few decades. In this article, we reviewed the current evidence on available imaging techniques used for DCM patients. In this direction, we evaluated appropriate scenarios for the implementation of echocardiography, nuclear imaging, and cardiac computed tomography, and we focused on the primordial role that cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) holds in the diagnosis, prognosis, and tailoring of therapeutic options in this population of special clinical interest. We explored the predictive value of CMR toward left ventricular reverse remodeling and prediction of sudden cardiac death, thus guiding the decisions for device therapy. Principles underpinning the use of state-of-the-art CMR techniques such as parametric mapping and feature-tracking strain analysis are also provided, along with expectations for the anticipated future advances in this field. We also attempted to correlate the evidence with clinical practice, with the intent to address questions on selecting the optimal imaging method for different indications and clinical needs. Overall, we recommend a comprehensive assessment of DCM patients at baseline and at follow-up intervals depending on the clinical status, with the addition of CMR as a second-line modality to other imaging techniques. We also provide an algorithm to guide the detailed imaging approach of the patient with DCM. We expect that future guidelines will upgrade their clinical recommendations for the utilization of CMR in DCM, which is expected to further improve the quality of care and the outcomes. This review provides an up-to-date perspective on the imaging of dilated cardiomyopathy patients and will be of clinical value to training doctors and physicians involved in the area of heart failure.
