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

Rodents are the most common experimental models used in cardiovascular research including studies of genetic cardiomyopathies. Genetic cardiomyopathies are characterized by changes in cardiac structure and function. Echocardiography allows for relatively inexpensive, non-invasive, reliable, and reproducible assessment of these changes. However, the fast heart and small size present unique challenges for investigators. To ensure accuracy and reproducibility of these measurements, investigators need to be familiar with standard practices in the field, normal values, and potential pitfalls. The goal of this chapter is to describe steps needed for reliable acquisition and analysis of echocardiography in rodent models. Additionally, we discuss some common pitfalls and challenges.
