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

introductionAcromegaly is an endocrine pathology characterized by the overproduction of human growth hormone. The present study aimed to analyze three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE)-derived tricuspid annular (TA) properties in detail in patients with acromegaly and to compare the findings to those of matched healthy controls.

methodsThe present study consisted of 29 patients with acromegaly (mean age: 55.9 ± 14.5 years, 21 males), of which 13 had an active disease. The control population comprised 57 healthy subjects (mean age: 53.2 ± 8.4 years, 38 males).

resultsIn the presence of acromegaly, left atrial and end-diastolic left ventricular (LV) sizes were dilated, and LV ejection fraction was increased, which was accompanied by thickened interventricular septum and LV posterior wall as compared with matched healthy controls. The presence of grade 1 mitral (MR) and tricuspid (TR) regurgitations were more frequent in acromegaly than in controls, regardless of disease activity. Higher than grade 1 MR/TR was uncommon in acromegaly. The 3DSTE-derived all end-diastolic (2.47 ± 0.27 cm vs. 2.23 ± 0.27 cm; 8.73 ± 1.77 cm

conclusionsIn the presented acromegaly patients, significant TA dilation with preserved function could be detected regardless of disease activity. RA volumes and TA dimensions are correlated in acromegaly.
