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 noncompaction (LVNC) is commonly described as a congenital cardiomyopathy characterized by prominent myocardial trabeculae and deep intertrabecular recesses extending in the left ventricular chamber. Clinical presentation can differ considerably from asymptomatic individuals to those presenting with heart failure and other serious complications. Diagnosis is usually made by two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography or cardiac magnetic resonance. Moreover, even if strain parameters are significantly reduced in patients with LVNC, they are not routinely investigated. Here, we report the case of a previously symptomless patient admitted to the hospital for pulmonary edema. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography showed severe valvular heart disease and left ventricle pronounced trabeculation and remodeling, although speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) demonstrated only mild strain reduction. We, therefore, explore the possibility that STE may be useful to differentiate LVNC cardiomyopathy from LVNC phenotype due to severe remodeling.
