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

Aims: In patients late after correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), the combined effects of pre-operative hypertrophy and hypoxia, ventricular interdependence, acquired post-operative lesions such as pulmonary or aortic regurgitation, and congenital vasculopathy may result in impaired right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) function. The aim of the present study was to investigate the interventricular interactions in repaired TOF (rTOF) and the impact of aortic function on biventricular performance using two-dimensional (2D-STE) and three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3D-STE). Methods and results: Twenty-five adult patients with rTOF and 25 age- and gender-matched healthy controls were studied. LV and RV volumes were determined by 3D-STE and cardiac magnetic resonance. LV and RV longitudinal strains (LVLS and RVLS) and LV and RV area strains (LVAS and RVAS) and LV twist/rotation were calculated by 3D-STE. Ascending aorta circumferential strain (AAo-CS) was obtained using 2D-STE. LV 3D-STE parameters were decreased in rTOF patients compared with controls even in patients with normal ejection fraction. AAo-CS was decreased (6.7 ± 1.9 vs. 10.1 ± 2.6, Conclusion: Speckle-tracking echocardiography revealed subtle LV and AAo dysfunction in adults with rTOF. A correlation was observed between LV and RV strain changes and between AAo strain impairment and LV/RV dysfunction. LV and AAo changes had an incremental value in evaluating disease severity.
