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

objectiveTo investigate the clinical application values of electrocardiogram (ECG) combined with ultrasound cardiogram (UCG) in the differential diagnosis of cardiomyopathy.

methodsA total of 120 patients with cardiomyopathy who were admitted to our hospital were randomly divided into the dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) group (60 cases) and the ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) group (60 cases). Both groups were examined using ECG combined with UCG. The ultrasonic values (aorta, LADI, LVDd, LVESD, RVID, SV, LVEF, LVET, EPSS, E/A, RV6, RV6/RMAX), morphological changes (thin and round left ventricular apex, spherical left ventricle, arch-shaped left ventricle, segmental wall-motion abnormalities (SWMAs), diffuse wall motion abnormalities (DWMAs), paradoxical ventricular wall motion) and heart valve regurgitation (aortic valve, mitral valve, tricuspid valve, pulmonary valve) were compared and analyzed.

resultsThe degree of chamber enlargement in the DCM group was remarkably higher than that in the ICM group, but the degree of LVEF and aortic enlargement were significantly lower than those in the ICM group (

conclusionECG combined with UCG examination can effectively improve the judgment rate and diagnosis accuracy of cardiomyopathy. Due to its high safety, ECG combined with UCG examination is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
