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

backgroundLeft ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is prevalent in obese individuals. Besides, both of LVH and obesity is associated with subclinical LV dysfunction. The study aims to investigate the interplay between body fat and LVH in relation to all-cause death in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).

methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, a total of 2243 patients with angiographically proven CAD were included. Body fat and LV mass were calculated using established formulas. Patients were grouped according to body fat percentage and presence or absence of LVH. Cox-proportional hazard models were used to observe the interaction effect of body fat and LVH on all-cause death.

resultsOf 2243 patients enrolled, 560 (25%) had a higher body fat percentage, and 1045 (46.6%) had LVH. After a median follow-up of 2.2 years, the cumulative mortality rate was 8.2% in the group with higher body fat and LVH, 2.5% in those with lower body fat and no LVH, 5.4% in those with higher body fat and no LVH, and 7.8% in those with lower body fat and LVH (log-rank

conclusionA higher body fat percentage was associated with a different risk of all-cause death in patients with CAD, stratified by coexistence of LVH or not. Higher body fat was significantly associated with a greater risk of mortality among patients with LVH but not among those without LVH.
