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 reviewSex is an important determinant of cardiac structure and function. We review key sex differences in universal echocardiographic parameters and discuss the clinical implications of using sex-specific algorithms to increase the diagnostic accuracy of echocardiography and improve the timely treatment of common cardiovascular disorders, and the unique role of echocardiography in pregnancy and the evaluation of ischemic heart disease. RECENT

findingsEmerging echocardiographic findings have begun to define important sex-based differences in chamber size and ventricular function. We advocate for additional research and the consideration of sex-specific algorithms in future expert consensus guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of valvular heart disease, heart failure, and thoracic aortic disease. Echocardiography is an essential diagnostic tool in our armamentarium of imaging modalities for the sex-specific diagnosis and guidance of treatment for a broad spectrum of cardiovascular disorders.
