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

Left ventricular non compaction (LVNC) is a relatively rare variety of cardiomyopathy of genetic origin. We report three cases of LVNC diagnosed on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in Abidjan in patients aged 42, 46 and 60 years, referred for suspected LVNC on echocardiography. We used a 1.5 T MRI and performed the following sequences: black blood and white blood, LV minor axis, LV major axis, 4 cavities, and T1 SPIR Gadolinium (early and late enhancement at 10 minutes). MRI made the diagnosis of LVNC based on a double-layered myocardium, the inner (endocardium) non compacted, fibrillar thickened and the outer (epicardium) compacted thin with a non compacted to compacted myocardium ratio greater than 2.3, making the formal diagnosis. Cardiac MRI is an excellent diagnostic tool for LVNC. Its recent use in Africa should be common in the management of this cardiomyopathy.
