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

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) represent clinical turning points, altering the natural history of HCM and influencing long-term outcome of the disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) myocardial deformation parameters to predict new-onset AF and HF outcomes in patients with HCM. This was a prospective study that included HCM patients without severe valvular heart disease, prior myocardial infarction or history of AF. The study sample consisted of 250 patients (mean age 50.8 ± 15.8, 67.2% male). Two-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking deformation parameters including global longitudinal strain (GLS), radial strain, circumferential strain, LA reservoir strain (LAε
