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

backgroundSaw-tooth cardiomyopathy (STC) is an unusual type of left ventricular dysplasia. To our knowledge, six cases have been reported in the literature. Two new cases are presented with a review of all the case reports that have been published. CASE SUMMARY: Two patients with STC were examined. The first one was a 69-year-old woman with shortness of breath on mild exertion and chest pain, and the second was a 49-year-old man with a history of myocardial infarction who required stent implantation and is now asymptomatic. Both patients revealed findings of STC in the cardiac computed tomography (CT). DISCUSSION: When analysing the cases and comparing them to the ones reported in the literature; STC is a generally benign heart disease, although the clinical spectrum can range from asymptomatic to heart failure. Imaging studies such as cardiac magnetic resonance and cardiac CT are essential for the diagnosis.
