Left ventricular concentric hypertrophy with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging improves risk stratification in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy: a prospective cohort study.

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.
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
backgroundThe development of left ventricular (LV) remodeling has been associated with an increased cardiovascular risk and cardiogenic death, and different patterns of remodeling result in varying levels of prognosis.
objectiveTo investigate the association between different patterns of LV remodeling and clinical outcomes in the preclinical stage of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 148 patients with DMD and 43 sex- and age-matched healthy participants were enrolled. We used the four-quadrant analysis method to investigate LV remodeling based on cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Kaplan-Meier curves were generated to illustrate the event-free survival probability stratified by the LV remodeling pattern. Cox regression models were constructed and compared to evaluate the incremental predictive value of the LV remodeling pattern.
resultsDuring the median follow-up period of 2.2 years, all-cause death, cardiomyopathy, and ventricular arrhythmia occurred in 5, 35, and 7 patients, respectively. LV concentric hypertrophy (hazard ratio 2.91, 95% confidence interval 1.47-5.75, P=0.002) was an independent predictor of composite endpoint events. Compared to the model without LV concentric hypertrophy, the model with LV concentric hypertrophy had significant incremental predictive value (chi-square value 33.5 vs. 25.2, P=0.004).
conclusionAge and late gadolinium enhancement positivity were positively correlated with clinical outcomes according to the prediction models. LV concentric hypertrophy was also an independent predictor for risk stratification and provided incremental value for predicting clinical outcomes in the preclinical stage of patients with DMD.
