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) is an important arrhythmia in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We aimed to explore whether a complex evaluation of the left ventricle (LV) using modern echocardiography techniques, additionally to the left atrium (LA) boosts the probability of AF diagnosis. Standard echocardiography, 2D and 3D speckle tracking, were performed for LA and LV evaluation in HCM patients and healthy volunteers. Of 128 initially qualified HCM patients, 60 fulfilled included criteria, from which 43 had a history of AF, and 17 were without AF. LA volume index and peak strain, LV ejection fraction, and strains were significant predictors of AF. In addition, 2D global longitudinal strain (GLS) for LV at cut off -16% turned out to be the most accurate predictor of AF (OR 48.00 [95% CI 2.68-859.36],
