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

objectivesThe purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors for and prognostic implications of progressive right ventricular systolic dysfunction (RVD) in adults with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries.

backgroundThere are no effective therapies for RVD; hence the need to identify and modify risk factors for progressive RVD.

methodsRV systolic function was assessed by using RV longitudinal strain (RV-LS). The first echocardiogram (baseline echocardiogram) and all subsequent annual echocardiograms performed within 5 years from the baseline echocardiogram were analyzed. Progressive RVD (temporal decline in RV-LS) was assessed as the average annual change in RV-LS within 5 years of imaging follow-up.

resultsOf 186 patients (mean age 40 ± 12 years), the RV-LS at baseline was -17% ± 4%, and the annual decline in RV-LS was -4% (95% CI: -6 to -2). The risk factors for progressive RVD were left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction, LV pacing, and systemic hypertension. Cardiovascular events (heart failure hospitalization, heart transplant, and death) occurred in 57 (27%) patients. Progressive RVD was associated with cardiovascular events, independent of RV systolic function at baseline. In subgroup analyses assessing impact of therapies (medical therapy, cardiac resynchronization therapy, and tricuspid valve replacement), only tricuspid valve replacement was associated with improvement in RV systolic function when performed before onset of RVD.

conclusionsPatients with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries were at risk for progressive RVD, and the risk factors for progressive RVD were LV pacing, systemic hypertension, and concomitant LV dysfunction. Further studies are required to determine whether strict blood pressure control and early tricuspid valve replacement will prevent progressive RVD.
