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

Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum (LHIS) is a rare benign heart disease characterized by excessive deposition of adipose tissue in the atrial septum with sparing fossa ovalis, which demonstrates a characteristic hourglass/dumbbell configuration. We reported a case of LHIS with inhomogenous characteristic on CMR and persistently no FDG uptake on 18F-FDG PET-CT, which is contrary to a few previous cases. This single case report suggests that in case LHIS present in-homogenous characteristic on CMR, metabolic PET imaging could be used as a complementary imaging model to decrease the concern of lipomatous neoplasms, thereby avoid unnecessary surgical therapy.
