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

backgroundIn patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), ischaemic cardiomyopathy may result in progressive cardiac remodelling and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) can be used to quantify LV size and shape, mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD) and ejection fraction (EF) as well as myocardial ischaemia and injury extents. We investigated the prevalence of LV remodelling (LVR) in patients with CAD and the relationship between LVR, LVMD and EF.

methodsThree hundred twenty-six patients with CAD were evaluated. The EF and end-diastolic volume (EDV) were measured using MPI. LVMD was assessed using phase analysis. LVR was characterised according to LV dilatation or increased shape indices (systolic shape index [SIES] and diastolic shape index [SIED]).

resultsLVR were observed in 41% of CAD patients. EDV, SIES and SIED were larger in patients with LVMD or low EF. After adjustment for age, sex and infarct and ischaemia extents, phase histogram bandwidth correlated with EDV (r = 0.218) and SIES (r = 0.266) and EF correlated with EDV (r = -0.535), SIES (r = -0.554) and SIED (r = -0.217, p < 0.001 for all).

conclusionsLVR is frequently seen in patients with CAD and may be detected even before the development of symptomatic heart failure. A large LV volume and a more spherical-shaped LV were associated with LVMD and low EF, highlighting the close relationships between remodelling and systolic dyssynchrony and dysfunction. MPI is useful for assessing LVR by providing information about LV size and shape, which changes from an ellipsoid towards a spherical form in the development of ischaemic cardiomyopathy.
