Performance of a novel ECG criterion for improving detection of left ventricular hypertrophy: a cross-sectional study in a general Chinese population.
Article in BMJ open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
objectivesThe sensitivity of ECG for detecting left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is low. The aim of this study was to explore a better ECG criterion for screening LVH in a large general Chinese population.
designCase-control study.
settingChina Medical University in Shenyang, China.
participantsAll permanent residents in Dawa, Zhangwu and Liaoyang aged 35 years or older were invited. Participants with unqualified data, pacemaker rhythm, frequent premature ventricular beats, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, complete bundle branch block, myocardial infarction or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were excluded. A total of 10 360 subjects (4630 males) were recruited.
interventionsA novel ECG criterion (Northeast China Rural Cardiovascular Health Study (NCRCHS)) composed of different ratios of maximum R wave in lead V
resultsAn optimised model (15
conclusionsThe NCRCHS criterion significantly improved sensitivity for LVH detection in a general Chinese population, with cut-off values of 36.8 and 26.1 mV for males and females, respectively. This criterion can detect LVH earlier and better and may prevent subsequent cardiovascular diseases.
