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

backgroundWe investigated the impact of baseline left atrial (LA) strain data and estimated left atrial pressure (LAP) by applying the 2016 American Society of Echocardiography and the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (ASE/EACVI) guidelines on cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) outcomes.

methodsDatasets of 219 CRT patients were retrospectively analysed. All patients had full echocardiographic diastolic function assessment before CRT and were classified based on the guideline algorithm into normal LAP (nLAP = 40%), elevated LAP (eLAP = 49%) and indeterminate LAP (iLAP = 11%). All relevant baseline characteristics were analysed. CRT-induced left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling was measured as the relative change of LV end-systolic volume (LVESV) at 12 ± 6 months after CRT compared to baseline. Patients were followed up for all-cause mortality for a mean of 4.8 years [interquartile range (IQR): 2.7-6.0 years].

resultsAt follow-up, CRT resulted in more pronounced reduction of LVESV in patients with nLAP than in patients with eLAP. In univariate analysis, nLAP was associated with LV reverse remodelling (

conclusionNormal LAP before CRT, estimated using the 2016 ASE/EACVI guideline algorithm, is associated with LV reverse remodelling and long-term survival after CRT. Albeit non-independent, it can serve as a non-invasive imaging-based predictor of effective therapy. Furthermore, the inclusion of LA reservoir strain in the guideline algorithm can enhance the feasibility of LAP estimation without affecting the association between LAP and CRT outcome.
