Prognostic implications of left ventricular geometry in coronary artery bypass grafting patients.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe prognostic implications of left ventricular (LV) mass and geometry have been confirmed in populations with different cardiac diseases. However, the prognostic value of LV geometry in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients is unclear.
methodsA total of 2,517 patients undergoing CABG between January 2012 and September 2016 in our cardiac surgery unit were included. Patients were divided into the following 4 groups according to left ventricular mass index (LVMi) and relative wall thickness (RWT): normal geometry, concentric remodeling, eccentric hypertrophy, and concentric hypertrophy.
resultsThe median follow-up period was 47.0 months (interquartile range was 32.5-61.3 months). Compared to the normal geometry group, the concentric remodeling group [hazard ratio (HR): 3.023; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.134-8.060], the eccentric hypertrophy group (HR: 3.422; 95% CI: 1.395-8.398), and the concentric hypertrophy group (HR: 5.399; 95% CI: 2.289-12.735) have higher main adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE) risk. Moreover, increased MACCE risk was associated with higher LVMi (HR: 1.015 per 1 g/m
conclusionsLV geometry is an independent and incremental prognostic factor for MACCE and death in CABG patients.
