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

Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) cardiomyopathy is a condition with increasing prevalence as cardiac imaging technology improves, although there is currently no diagnostic gold standard. Characterized by the presence of a bilayered myocardium with prominent trabeculations, LVNC cardiomyopathy has a wide range of presentations, from asymptomatic to severe heart failure, thromboembolism, and sudden cardiac death. We present the case of a 62-year-old male who was admitted for a heart failure exacerbation with a worsening ejection fraction and signs of increased trabeculations of the left ventricle on an echocardiogram. We highlight the rarity of this condition, especially when diagnosed via echocardiogram, and the importance of considering anticoagulation as part of the treatment plan.
