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

purposeWhether blood volume (BV) primarily determines the synchronous nature of the myocardium remains unknown. This study determined the impact of standard blood withdrawal on left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD) in women.

methodsTransthoracic speckle-tracking echocardiography and central hemodynamic measurements were performed at rest and during moderate- to high-intensity exercise in healthy women (n = 24, age = 53.6 ± 16.3 year). LVMD was determined via the time to peak standard deviation (TPSD) of longitudinal and transverse strain and strain rates (LSR, TSR). Measurements were repeated within a week period immediately after a 10% reduction of BV.

resultsWith intact BV, all individuals presented cardiac structure and function variables within normative values of the study population. Blood withdrawal decreased BV (5.3 ± 0.7 L) by 0.5 ± 0.1 L. Resting left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic volume (- 8%, P = 0.040) and passive filling (- 16%, P = 0.001) were reduced after blood withdrawal. No effect of blood withdrawal was observed for any measure of LVMD at rest (P ≥ 0.225). During exercise at a fixed submaximal workload (100 W), LVMD of myocardial longitudinal strain (LS TPSD) was increased after blood withdrawal (36%, P = 0.047). At peak effort, blood withdrawal led to increased LVMD of myocardial transverse strain rate (TSR TPSD) (31%, P = 0.002). The effect of blood withdrawal on TSR TPSD at peak effort was associated with LV concentric remodeling (r = 0.59, P = 0.003).

conclusionMarked impairments in the mechanical synchrony of the myocardium are elicited by moderate blood withdrawal in healthy women during moderate and high intensity exercise.
