The Influence of Pericardial Fat on Left Ventricular Diastolic Function.

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
backgroundHeart failure is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide; left ventricular diastolic dysfunction plays a leading role in this clinical context. Diastolic dysfunction may be predisposed by increased abdominal fat and, consequently, increased pericardial and epicardial adiposity. This study aimed to determine whether pericardial fat (PF) and epicardial fat (EF) are associated with left ventricular diastolic function.
methodsA total of 82 patients had their abdominal circumference measured and underwent transthoracic echocardiography to measure the thickness of PF and EF and assess the left ventricular diastolic function. Two groups were created based on mean pericardial fat (PF) thickness (4.644 mm) and were related to abdominal circumference and echocardiographic parameters.
resultsSubjects in the PF High group showed a significant decrease in septal e' (
conclusionsMeasurement of abdominal circumference, PF, and EF is an early indicator of diastolic changes with transthoracic echocardiography being the gold standard exam.
