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

Purpose: To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and its prognostic value in patients with Takayasu arteritis (TA). Materials and methods: Sixty TA patients with a CMR examination were retrospectively included. All TA patients were divided into with LGE-positive and LGE-negative groups. Bi-ventricular function and location, distribution, and pattern of left ventricular (LV) LGE were evaluated in both LGE-positive and LGE-negative groups. Primary outcome was defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, hospitalization for heart failure, coronary artery revascularization, and stroke. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were used to evaluate the association between variables and primary outcomes. Results: Sixty consecutive TA patients were enrolled in this study. The mean age was 38.2 ± 13.8 years and 54 patients (54/60, 90.0%) were female. LGE-positive was observed in twenty-one (21/60, 35%) patients in the total patients with TA. LGE was predominantly distributed in the middle wall and subendocardial. The patchy and infarcted LGE patterns were the most common. Compared with the LGE-negative group, the LGE-positive group had reduced LV ejection fraction ( Conclusion: LGE-positive detected by CMR was observed in 35% of total TA patients with different distributions and patterns. LGE is associated with adverse LV remodeling and worsen cardiac function. However, LVMI rather than LGE can provide independent prognostic information in patients with TA.
