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

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a primitive heart muscle disease characterized by a great heterogeneous aetiology and prognostic outcome. Dilated cardiomyopathy is an umbrella term encompassing different aetiologies that might require specific treatments. It principally affects young and male adults, with high-risk arrhythmic competitive risk. Unfortunately, the prevention of major ventricular arrhythmic events remains a clinical challenge. In the era of advanced multimodality imaging and widely available genetic testing, electrocardiogram (ECG) continues to represent a reliable diagnostic tool, for specific work up of every single patient. However, approaching DCM patients, only a cardiomyopathy-oriented reading makes the role of ECG central in the management of DCM, both for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic management. In this paper, we present four ECGs of four different DCM patients, in order to guide a cardiomyopathy-oriented ECG reading, emphasizing its impact in an early, cost-effective, and personalized diagnostic and prognostic work up in this specific setting.
