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

Pulmonary transit time (PTT), defined as the time taken for a contrast agent bolus to pass from the right ventricle to the left ventricle, is a surrogate for non-invasive assessment of preload. It is used in several imaging modalities: pulmonary angiography, echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Many recent studies have highlighted the prognostic value of PTT. Therefore, we sought to evaluate PTT in a consecutive cohort of patients undergoing CMR. We retrospectively evaluated PTT normalised for heart rate in 278 patients (66% male, mean age 58 ± 11 years) who underwent CMR between August 2017 and November 2021 with a diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy, infarct, hypertrophy, valvular, myocarditis, other pathology or no pathology ("normal"). Normalised pulmonary transit time (nPTT) was higher in men than in women (8.4 ± 1.3 beats vs 7.5 ± 1.1 beats, p = 0.002) in the "normal" group. nPTT was moderately correlated with left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) (r
