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

Electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (ECG-LVH) is associated with both cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Obesity attenuates the sensitivity of several ECG-LVH criteria, so body mass index (BMI) adjusted criteria have been developed. However, the prognostic significance of BMI-adjusted ECG-LVH criteria is not known. This analysis included 7812 participants (59.8 ± 13.4 years, 53% women, 50% non-Hispanic-whites) from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The Cornell criteria (R in aVL + S in V3 ≥ 2800 µV in men or ≥2200 µV in women) and Sokolow-Lyon criteria (S in V1 + R in V5 or R in V6 ≥ 3500 µV) criteria were used for LVH. To account for the effects of obesity, the BMI-adjusted Cornell criteria (product of R in aVL + S in V3 and BMI > 60 400 µV kg m
