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

Background: Left ventricular (LV) rotational mechanics play a crucial role in LV pump function by strengthening and improving its efficacy. Dependence of LV rotational parameters on left atrial volumes has already been demonstrated. The evaluation of the effect of LV rotational mechanics on LV volumes was purposed in a population of healthy subjects by three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE). Methods: The study comprised 175 healthy subjects with a mean age of 32.8±12.2 years (79 males). All subjects underwent a complete physical examination, laboratory assessments, standard 12-lead electrocardiography and two-dimensional Doppler and three-dimensional STE, the results of these examinations were within the normal range. Results: Increased basal LV rotation was associated with increased LV volume measured in end-systole and impaired LV ejection fraction. Increased apical LV rotation was associated with reduced LV volumes assessed in end-diastole and in end-systole and increased ejection fraction of the LV. Elevated basal LV rotation showed associations with increased LV mass. In case of increasing basal LV rotation, apical LV rotation showed a decreasing tendency and LV twist showed a tendency of increasing. Similarly, lower basal LV rotation and increased LV twist were seen with increasing apical LV rotation. Increasing LV end-diastolic volume was associated with increasing LV volume measured in end-systole and preserved ejection fraction of the LV. Increasing LV end-systolic volume was associated with increasing LV end-diastolic volume and reduction of LV ejection fraction. Increasing LV volumes were associated with increasing LV mass. While increased LV volumes were associated with reduced apical LV rotation and twist, basal LV rotation did not show significant changes. Conclusions: LV rotational mechanics are strongly associated with LV volumes in healthy adults suggesting its volume-dependence.
