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

backgroundThere is a paucity of literature focusing left atrium (LA) in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). HYPOTHESIS: We used three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) to evaluate LA in MHD patients and to explore its predictive value for adverse outcomes.

methodsEchocardiography was performed on 130 consecutively enrolled MHD patients without previous cardiac diseases. Conventional and 3DSTE parameters of LA were obtained. The MHD cohort was then followed and the end point was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). LA strain indices, including reservoir strain (LASr), conduit strain (LAScd), and contractile strain (LASct), were measured and compared between patients with and without MACEs.

resultsPatients were prospectively followed up for a median of 40.5 (interquartile range: 26.3-48.0) months. During follow-up, 43 patients met the end point. These patients had larger LA size and reduced LA strains (LA maximal volume indexed: 45.1 ± 11.9 vs. 33.8 ± 6.9ml/m

conclusionsLASr derived from 3DSTE is an independent predictor of MACEs and cardiac death in MHD patients, superior to LV parameters and LA volume indices.
