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

backgroundThe present study aimed to assess and compare regional strain of the right and left sides of interventricular septum in healthy subjects using velocity vector imaging analysis due to the importance of interventricular septum and limited basic information about the exact function of the interventricular septum.

methodsThe present study was conducted on 40 healthy subjects. Echocardiography was performed in the apical 4-chamber view in the left lateral decubitus position. Image analysis was done offline with velocity vector imaging; the longitudinal strain and strain rate were calculated during 3 cardiac cycles. Strain-time and strain rate-time curves in basal, middle, and apical segments of the left and right sides of interventricular septum were recorded; peak values and time to peak strain were determined.

resultsThere was no significant difference between the longitudinal strain in the right and left basal (-17.7 ± 5.10% vs. -18.2 ± 5.14%, P=.550), middle (-17.1 ± 4.53% vs. -17.9 ± 4.29%, P = .197) segments, strain rate of basal (-1.1 ± 0.36 1/s vs. -1.0 ± 0.36 1/s, P = .350), and middle (-1.0 ± 0.30 1/s vs. -1.1 ± 0.32 1/s, P =0.551) segments. However, there was a significant difference between the longitudinal strain (-22.2 ± 5.55% vs. -16.6 ± 4.45%, P < .001) and strain rate (-1.5 ± 0.46 1/s vs. -1.1 ± 0.33 1/s, P < .001) of the apical segment. Time to peak strain was significantly different only in the middle segment of interventricular septum (right side: 351.0 ±11.5 ms vs.left side: 344.4 ± 13.1 ms, P = .004).

conclusionsThe findings of this study suggest that the right and left function of the septum was comparable in the basal and middle segments of healthy subjects; this function was significantly different in the apical segments.
