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

purpose of reviewThis review aims to outline the utility of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with different types of muscular dystrophies for the assessment of myocardial involvement, risk stratification and in guiding therapeutic decisions. RECENT

findingsIn patients suffering from muscular dystrophies (MD), even mild initial dysfunction may lead to severe heart failure over a time course of years. CMR plays an increasing role in the diagnosis and clinical care of these patients, mostly due to its unique capability to precisely characterize subclinical and progressive changes in cardiac geometry, function in order to differentiate myocardial injury it allows the identification of inflammation, focal and diffuse fibrosis as well as fatty infiltration. CMR may provide additional information in addition to the physical examination, laboratory tests, ECG, and echocardiography. Further trials are needed to investigate the potential impact of CMR on the therapeutic decision-making as well as the assessment of long-term prognosis in different forms of muscular dystrophies. In addition to the basic cardiovascular evaluation, CMR can provide a robust, non-invasive technique for the evaluation of subclinical myocardial tissue injury like fat infiltration and focal and diffuse fibrosis. Furthermore, CMR has a unique capability to detect the progression of myocardial tissue damage in patients with a preserved systolic function.
