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

objectiveTo explore the clinical value of 3D Echocardiography (3DE) in evaluating the changes of left atrial volume and pulmonary vein structure in patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF).

methodsClinical data were collected from 54 AF patients. Left Atrial Anteroposterior Diameter (LADap), Left Atrial left and right Diameter (LADml), and Left Atrial upper and lower Diameter (LADsi) were measured; the maximum Left Atrial Volume (LAVmax), minimum Left Atrial Volume (LAVmin), left atrial presystolic volume (LAVpre), and Cross-Sectional Area (CSA) of each pulmonary vein were analyzed. Passive Ejection Fraction (LAPEF) was calculated. The differences in left atrial volume and pulmonary vein structure between patients with AF and healthy people were compared, and the correlation between the indexes was analyzed. The diagnostic value of the above indicators for AF patients was analyzed.

resultsLADap, LADml, LADsi, LAVmax, LAVmin, LAVpre, LAPEF, LSPV CSA, LIPV CSA, RSPV CSA, and RIPV CSA of AF patients were significantly higher. There was a significant positive correlation between left atrial diameter and pulmonary vein structure. There was a significant positive correlation between left atrial volume and pulmonary vein structure. There was a negative correlation between LAPEF and pulmonary vein structure. LADap, LADml, LADsi, LAVmax, LAVmin, LAVpre, LAPEF, LSPV CSA, LIPV CSA, RSPV CSA, and RIPV CSA had a diagnostic value for AF patients.

conclusion3DE is applicable for evaluating left atrial volume and pulmonary vein structure in patients with AF.
