Time-related factors predicting a positive response to cardiac resynchronisation therapy in patients with heart failure.

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.
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
This study aimed to identify time parameters predicting favourable CRT response. A total of 38 patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, qualified for CRT implantation, were enrolled in the study. A 15% reduction in indexed end-systolic volume after 6 months was a criterion for a positive response to CRT. We evaluated QRS duration, measured from a standard ECG before and after CRT implantation and obtained from mapping with NOGA XP system (AEMM); and the delay, measured with the implanted device algorithm (DCD) and its change after 6 months (ΔDCD); and selected delay parameters between the left and right ventricles based on AEMM data. A total of 24 patients presented with a positive response to CRT versus 9 non-responders. After CRT implantation, we observed differences between responders and non-responders group in the reduction of QRS duration (31 ms vs. 16 ms), duration of paced QRS (123 ms vs. 142 ms), and the change of ΔDCDMaximum (4.9 ms vs. 0.44 ms) and ΔDCDMean (7.7 ms vs. 0.9 ms). The difference in selected parameters obtained during AEMM in both groups was related to interventricular delay (40.3 ms vs. 18.6 ms). Concerning local activation time and left ventricular activation time, we analysed the delays in individual left ventricular segments. Predominant activation delay of the posterior wall middle segment was associated with a better response to CRT. Some AEMM parameters, paced QRS time of less than 120 ms and reduction of QRS duration greater than 20 ms predict the response to CRT. ΔDCD is associated with favourable electrical and structural remodelling.Clinical trial registration: SUM No. KNW/0022/KB1/17/15.
