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

Most acquired and inherited cardiomyopathies are characterized by regional left ventricular involvement and nonischemic myocardial scars, often with a disease-specific pattern. Irrespective of the etiology and pathophysiological mechanisms, myocardial disorders are invariably associated with cardiac fibrosis, which contributes to dysfunction and electrical instability. Accordingly, cardiac magnetic resonance plays a central role in the diagnostic work-up and prognostic risk stratification of cardiomyopathies, particularly with the increasing correlation between genetic background and specific disease phenotype. Starting from pattern and distribution of myocardial fibrosis at cardiac magnetic resonance, we provide a practical regional atlas of nonischemic myocardial scar to guide the diagnostic approach to nonischemic cardiomyopathies.
