Application of non-invasive bioreactance to assess hemodynamic function in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Article in Physiological reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Non-invasive technologies have become popular for the clinical evaluation of cardiac function. The present study evaluated hemodynamic response to cardiopulmonary exercise stress testing using bioreactance technology in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The study included 29 patients with HCM (age 55 ± 15 years; 28% female) and 12 age (55 ± 14 years), and gender matched (25% female) healthy controls. All participants underwent maximal graded cardiopulmonary exercise stress testing with simultaneous non-invasive hemodynamic bioreactance and gas exchange. At rest, patients with HCM demonstrated significantly lower cardiac output (4.1 ± 1.3 vs. 6.1 ± 1.2 L/min; p < 0.001), stroke volume (61.5 ± 20.8 vs. 89.5 ± 19.8 mL/beat; p < 0.001), and cardiac power output (0.97 ± 0.3 vs. 1.4 ± 0.3watt; p < 0.001), compared to controls. At peak exercise, the following hemodynamic and metabolic variables were lower in HCM patients that is, heart rate (118 ± 29 vs. 156 ± 20 beats/min; p < 0.001), cardiac output (15.5 ± 5.8 vs. 20.5 ± 4.7 L/min; p = 0.017), cardiac power output (4.3 ± 1.6 vs. 5.9 ± 1.8 watts; p = 0.017), mean arterial blood pressure (126 ± 11 vs. 134 ± 10 mmHg; p = 0.039), and oxygen consumption (18.3 ± 6.0 vs. 30.5 ± 8.3 mL/kg/min; p < 0.001), respectively. Peak arteriovenous oxygen difference and stroke volume were not significantly different between HCM patients and healthy controls (11.2 ± 6.4 vs. 11.9 ± 3.1 mL/100 mL, p = 0.37 and 131 ± 50.6 vs. 132 ± 41.9 mL/beat, p = 0.76). There was a moderate positive relationship between peak oxygen consumption and peak heart rate (r = 0.67, p < 0.001), and arteriovenous oxygen difference (r = 0.59, p = 0.001). Functional capacity is significantly reduced in patients with HCM primarily due to diminished central (cardiac) rather than peripheral factors. Application of non-invasive hemodynamic assessment may improve understanding of the pathophysiology and explain mechanisms of exercise intolerance in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
