Characteristics of the right ventricle in left ventricular noncompaction with reduced ejection fraction in the light of dilated cardiomyopathy.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundReports of left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) rarely include descriptions of the right ventricle (RV). This study aimed to describe the characteristics of the RV in LVNC patients with reduced LV function (LVNC-R) compared with patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and subjects with LVNC with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LV-EF) (LVNC-N).
methodsForty-four LVNC-R patients, 44 LVNC-N participants, and 31 DCM patients were included in this retrospective study (LV-EF: LVNC-R: 33.4±10.2%; LVNC-N: 65.0±5.9%; DCM: 34.6±7.9%). Each group was divided into two subgroups by the amount of RV trabeculation.
resultsThere was no difference in the RV-EF between the groups, and the RV trabecular mass correlated positively with the RV volume and negatively with the RV-EF in all the groups. All the measured parameters were comparable between the groups with decreased LV function. The hypertrabeculated RV subgroups showed significantly higher RV volumes and lower RV-EF only in the decreased-LV-function groups. The correlation of LV and RV trabeculation was observed only in the LVNC-N group, while LV trabeculation correlated with RV volumes in both noncompacted groups. Both decreased-LV-function groups had worse RV strain values than the LVNC-N group; however, RV strain values correlated with RV trabeculation predominantly in the LVNC-R group.
conclusionsThe presence and characteristics of RV hypertrabeculation and the correlations between LV trabeculation and RV parameters raise the possibility of RV involvement in noncompaction; moreover, RV strain values might be helpful in the early detection of RV function deterioration.
