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

backgroundThe left ventricle (LV) is the pump of the peripheral circulation, therefore its non-invasive accurate volumetric and functional assessment is essential. Three-dimensional (3D) speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) is a new tool with capability of quantification of LV volumes and ejection fraction (EF). In the present study, age- and gender-dependency of 3DSTE-derived LV volumetric parameters were aimed to be quantified in healthy adults.

methodsThe present study involved 298 healthy adults. Data acquisition took place over a 6 year period (2011-2017), during which 123 adults had to be excluded due to inferior image quality. The study population was further divided into 4 groups based on age decades. In every case, a complete two-dimensional echocardiography was performed followed by 3DSTE examination.

resultsNo significant differences were detected between the different age groups regarding 3D end-diastolic volume (EDV) and 3D end-systolic volume (ESV) and their body surface area (BSA)-indexed counterpart. 3DEF differed significantly between the 30-39-year-old males and 40-49-year-old males (P=0.04). Between the youngest and oldest patient group, only 3D left ventricular mass (LVM) was significantly different (P=0.02). The 18-29-year-old females had a significantly different 3DLVM (P<0.001) compared to that of the 50+ year-old females. Between the 40-49-year-old and 50+ year-old females 3DLVM (P=0.02) and BSA-indexed 3DLVM (P=0.05) proved to be significantly different.

conclusions3DSTE seems to be a reasonably viable tool for the quantification of LV volumetric parameters.
