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

The rare case of an adult with a double-chambered left ventricle was revealed using multimodality imaging using echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in a 38-year-old asymptomatic male patient. The congenital malformation was dominated by a second, coarsely trabeculated muscular shelf dividing the left ventricle into 2 chambers without signs for left ventricular inflow or outflow tract obstruction. The partition wall did not show any signs for intramyocardial fibrosis in late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging. Flow measurements excluded a relevant intracardial shunt across the additive perimembranous ventricular septal defect. There were no signs for global right and left ventricular dysfunction with left and right ventricular volumes and ejection fraction within normal limits. A conservative approach was recommended. In summary, we are able to present the case of an adult with a double-chambered left ventricle with a second muscular "septum" partially dividing the left ventricular cavity without causing a relevant impact on cardiac function or clinical signs for heart failure.
