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

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a well-established treatment modality for ambulatory patients with heart failure (HF) who have prolonged QRS, left bundle branch block, reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, and New York Heart Association class II-IV. CRT has been shown to induce reverse LV remodeling and improve HF symptoms and clinical outcomes. About one-third of CRT recipients are considered non-responders. Patient selection, LV lead location, LV lead selection, multipoint pacing, and optimization of the atrioventricular and ventriculo-ventricular intervals were all shown to be associated with a better CRT response rate. Herein, we review the determinants of CRT response.
