Coronary Angiography in Patients With Left Ventricular Hypertrabeculation/Noncompaction.
Article in Texas Heart Institute journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLeft ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction (LVHT) is a cardiac abnormality of unknown pathogenesis, frequently associated with neuromuscular disorders. The relevance of coronary artery disease (CAD) in LVHT is largely unknown. This study aimed to assess the role of CAD as a prognostic marker in LVHT.
methodsData from patients with LVHT were collected from an echocardiographic laboratory. The hospital information system was retrospectively screened for coronary angiography. The association of CAD with clinical, echocardiographic, and neurologic baseline parameters was assessed. End points were all-cause death and heart transplantation.
resultsA total of 154 patients (mean [SD] age, 57 [13.7] years; 31% female) who had undergone coronary angiography between 1995 and 2020 were included in the study. Coronary angiography disclosed CAD in 53 of 154 patients. Patients with CAD were older (mean [SD] age of, 64.2 [12.9] years vs 52.7 [12.4] years; P < .001); more frequently had angina pectoris (P = .05), diabetes (P = .002), and hypertension (P = .03); and more frequently had 3 or more electrocardiographic abnormalities (P = .04) than patients without CAD. During a median (IQR) follow-up period of 6.48 (2.44-11.20) years, 39% of patients reached an end point (death, n = 56; heart transplantation, n = 4). Mortality was 4.5% per year, and the rate of death or heart transplantation did not differ between patients with and without CAD (P = .26). Patients with 3-vessel disease had a worse prognosis than patients with 1- or 2-vessel disease (P = .046).
conclusionIn patients with LVHT, CAD does not appear to be associated with an increased rate of death or heart transplantation.
