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

backgroundAortopathy is a common phenomenon in tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). The current study was designed to detect left ventricular (LV) deformation abnormalities and its relation to aortic stiffness in corrected TOF (cTOF) using the novel three-dimensional (3D) speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE). Detailed comparative analysis between patients with early palliation-late correction (pcTOF) and early total reconstruction (etrTOF) was also performed.

methodsThe present study consisted of 28 cTOF patients (35.0±15.7 years, 11 males) from which 15 and 13 proved to be pcTOF and etrTOF, respectively. Their clinical parameters were compared to those of 39 matched healthy adults (35.5±6.0 years, 16 males).

resultscTOF patients showed significantly lower global LV longitudinal, circumferential and area strains as compared to controls. In etrTOF patients, global LV 3D strain was higher than in controls. In pcTOF patients, all LV strains proved to be significantly lower as compared to those of etrTOF patients and controls. In all cTOF patients, several moderate correlations could be detected between LV strain parameters and aortic elastic properties.

conclusionsSignificant LV deformational abnormalities could be demonstrated in cTOF patients. etrTOF patients have beneficial LV strain parameters as compared to those of pcTOF patients. LV strains show correlations with aortic elastic properties.
