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

backgroundFew studies have demonstrated the performance of regional strain by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) feature tracking in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients, and the prognostic value of segmental strain remains unknown. This study aimed to explore the prognostic implications of strain parameters generated by CMR feature tracking analysis in HCM patients.

methodsIn total, 104 clinically diagnosed HCM patients and 30 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study, and all patients underwent a standard CMR examination. Global and regional strain was computed by short axis, 2-, 3-, and 4-chamber view cine MR imaging using specialized software. Cardiac structure, function, and myocardial strain were compared between the control group and HCM patients, and the event and event-free groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to evaluate the correlations between clinical and CMR parameters and poor prognosis.

resultsDuring the follow-up time, 8 patients reached the primary end points and 14 patients reached secondary end points. Regional radial strain of hypertrophic segments (RRS) and regional circumferential strain of hypertrophic segments (RCS) were worse in HCM patients with primary and secondary end points. In univariate Cox regression analysis of RRS, RCS were associated with primary and secondary end points. Regional radial strain of hypertrophic segments [hazard ratio (HR) 1.64, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.13-2.38] and RCS (HR 2.35, 95% CI: 1.20-4.59) were independent predictors of primary end points, and RRS (HR 1.71, 95% CI: 1.09-2.66) and RCS (HR 2.63, 95% CI: 1.20-5.75) remained independent predictors of secondary end points in multivariate analysis. Kaplan-Meier survival curves indicated patients with RRS <10.0% and RCS ≥-8.5% had a higher rate of primary end points, and patients with RRS <17.9% and RCS ≥-12.1% experienced a higher rate of secondary end points.

conclusionsIn HCM patients, RRS and RCS were associated with primary and secondary end points and remained independent predictors in multivariate analysis. Impaired regional strain may potentially predict poor prognosis in HCM patients. KEYWORDS: Prognosis; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM); cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR); regional strain.
